Will You

Another love poem...

Will you love me
When I'm old
When there's wrinkles on my face
When my voice is no longer beautiful

Will you love me
When my sight starts getting bad
When my hearing starts to fade
When my hair starts turning gray

Will you still listen
To our favorite song
Sing it to me
As I try to sing along

Will you still listen
To my stories and tales
Or ask how my day went
Will you even really care

Tell me
Will you need me
Keep those promises
You made so long ago

Will you love me?

Will you comfort me
When I'm sad
When there's tears running down my cheeks
When I'm trembling from the fear inside

Will you comfort me
When I'm scared
When I cannot fall asleep
When i can only stare at the ceiling

Will you still see me
As an angel
Say it often
As I try to smile

Will you still see me
As someone beautiful
Kiss me gently
Will you even really mean it

Tell me
Will you want me
Hold me closely
And never let go

Will you love me?

Even if I do let go
And see the light way too soon
Or leave this world with you still left behind

I promise that I'm in your heart
I was there right from the start
And I'll watch over you

So when I pass
And go through those doors
Promise me that you'll make my story heard

Our love story shall be known worldwide
Legends to come
Showing love does not die

But only if you promise me
And answer my last question
I just really need to know

So tell me..

Will you love me?

It is such a simple question to answer when it is true. No need to lie. No guilt feelings. just the honesty of one person to another!

[Cool Girl]

Well, my dear sister:) I've been browsing through your writing... And my eyes were caught by the simple question "Will you?"
And i find this to be a beautiful poem, full of emotions. And a single, but very important question. I wish you two all the best, and hope you'll be together, forever. True love will withstand anything, from the flames of anger, through the tears of sadness, to the iron teeth of time, it will be there. Trully an amazing write.

[Cool Girl]

Thank you so much! I agree with you :)

[Dani The Unreviewed]

[Cool Girl]

Thank you so much :)

Oh my, this is simply beautiful. I am , I'm sure, an old lady compared to you, so for me this piece made me think of myself aging and wondering how my children "will love me." I adore this write.

[Cool Girl]

Thank you so much! I am indeed young, but I'm sure your not that old. I do love how you thought about it! I'm sure your children will love you so very much. Thanks again! Take care :)

This was so beautiful. Hold me closely and never let me go did the magic for me.. I enjoyed reading and i was getting carried away into the world of love. But somehow in the later half there was a haste. Pace changed. And the magic spell broke.

[Cool Girl]

im sorry that the spell broke for you..
I originally wrote it as a song, so that might be why.
Thank you so much though! :)

[Nadia Gerassimenko]

This made me shed a tear. Simple questions, yet the truthful answers separate those who truly do love and who only love superficially. True love withstands all obstacles and that means illnesses, physical accidents, aging, and time. I hope your love loves you and will love you always no matter what.

[Cool Girl]

I'm so glad you liked this! I absolutely agree with you. Thanks for the kind words :)

[Relic]

Everyone wants to be loved. To be lucky enough to fin the right one is a blessing. Good job.

[Cool Girl]

Very true.
Thanks!

An awesome poem - so well thought out, threading through the hopes and joys of love, being loved. Here's a cute song - oddly reminiscent of all those lasting love emotions.
