Grow up with me

Grow up with me,

Let's watch the leaves,

Leaving the trees,

As they wither,

In this autumn state of mind.

Grow up with me,

Let's feel the bone chilling wind,

Whilst we lie in the grass,

Behind your house

In this autumn state of mind.

Grow up with me,

Let's sit on a balcony,

And drink a forty,

When we're forty,

In this autumn state of mind.

Grow up with me,

Let's fly to New York,

And buy an apartment,

Have a baby and live,

In this autumn state of mind.

Grow up with me,

Let's leave this town,

And move to California,

Send our child to school and make love,

In this autumn state of mind.

Grow up with me,

Let's move back to Denmark,

And enjoy our years together,

Have christmas with our families,

In this autumn state of mind.

Grow old with me,

Let's buy a house with an ocean view,

And enjoy it every morning,

Have our child visit twice a year,

In this autumn state of mind.

Grow old with me,

Watch me slowly die more and more every day,

And then I'll die,

And you and our child will cry as you bury me,

But I will always be with you,

In this autumn state of mind.

This is just perfect. I love the mood you set for the poem. It's very touching and I couldn't help but smile at "And you and our child will cry as you bury me,But I will always be with you, In this autumn state of mind.". Very touching poem.

Its some kind of mood Justin. Come read with me the book ' Julian ' by Gore Vidal and we can be all of these things.

[Coyote Poetry]

A nice use of repetition. I like the story and the desire in the poem. Good to hope to live a complete life with one person. I like the journey and the very strong ending. Thank you for the excellent poem.
