When We Are Old
I wish I were the air,
To pass through you every minute of the day,
So I wouldn't miss one heart beat,
Or not hear one thing you say.
For at times I feel so lifeless,
Empty and so cold,
No matter how I express myself,
I don't say all I mean,
And let go of all I hold.
When we are old,
I will still love you,
When our cards fold,
I will make love to you.
Like we just met,
Sweet surrender for you,
-I'll never forget, all you are to me.
Intertwined like grapevines, two bodies,
Sharing one soul, one mind.
Your beauty surpasses my need to be right,
Outweighs meaningless words,
For what I feel can not be caught by sight,
Only felt by my hands,
-Tonight.
For when we are old,
I will still love you,
When our cards fold,
I will make love to you,
Like we just met,
Sweet surrender for you,
-I'll never forget, all you are to me.
