Elderly Love

Can I hug you for the last time?
Can I kiss you for the last time?
Like the first time 

for the last time only
shall we smile?

I stayed up all night 

with excitement
and my heart was fluttering
Like the time like yesterday

can I hug you for the last time?

Can I embrace your

warmth for the last time
so that the scattering sad scent

can pervade in my memory

The wet shadow holding you tight
Behind this night 
Goodbye for a while
The steps are too slow 

to turn around
The naughty times importunes us

Even after I steel my heart

Instead of a promise 

that's hard to keep
Let's trust each other 
without saying anything

I'll be in front of you
after growing up

Your face that I've looked at 

is prettier today

Thank you for smiling
brighter than me
Our shadows become two dots

Behind this night 

Goodbye for a while
The poor steps towards the other way
The strange steps in a hurry

I loved it..I can feel your emotions and I am actually happy that you wrote something like this because today most of the people think old people are nothing more than a burden and true love and affection for them , many few actually have it..I wished that I could also write something like this for my grandparents...I can feel the love the happiness and I can also feel the sadness in this poem...I loved this poem...

Boy I really wish I could come up with something as good as this. It reminds me of my own grand parents who despite her getting dementia he still loved her every day and never left her side

A life time of loving that will continue long after the first of them has passed. Nicely portrayed and poignant as well.

Thank you! I’m glad I liked the love I showed in the poem. I base it around two elderly married people who are at death’s door remembering their love.
