I love you my darling

I can't help loving you
As we sit here
Watching the waves crash over the rocks
The sound of birds

I simply can't help loving you
As we gaze at each other tenderly
Your once dark hair is now a wonderful silver
Your once young face now has wrinkles

But I still can't help loving you
My high school sweet heart
My best friend
My lover

I love you
Every memory
Every fight
Everything makes me love you more and more

We love each other
After so many years
Of pain
And joy

So much of me belongs to you
My life
My heart
You were my first kiss

How could I not love you
The first boy to notice me
The first guy to kiss me
The first man to love me

I love you my dear
My best friend
My life partner
I love you so very much  

Author's Note

No couple in my whole family has gotten divorced, not one. And an old couple sitting next to each other just watching life move around them, and them knowing that they have lived a long and healthy life and they did it together and that is how I see myself later in life, sitting with my husband, watching the the ocean, drinking tea. And simply be even more in love then we were when we first met. This is just a dream of mine! let me know what you think.
PS I don't really plan on marrying the first guy I kiss or even date for that matter...too late for that anyway, but it is a nice thing to dream of.

You have a hard goal to accomplish. World had changed. I believe a person who do the right things can find happiness. Never rush into a relationship. Bad people cannot be changed. A beautiful poem of love and hope. I like the language. Remind me of Grandmother writing this poem. A outstanding poem. Thank you.

lost in memory of a soul somewhat like yrz. yr expanding depth is somewhat distracting. Get reviews from someone else, please, love it too much, thanks. serves me correctly

nice dream, kind of thing most of us wish for somewhere down there, but reality is just way... well expressed thoughts, it really resonated with me, I liked the first boy, guy, man part best, that line expressed the gradual maturity or change in the partner yet the unchanging feeling. well done.

Ah, love...lovely lines and very loving poem.

Good job. This is definitely the "ideal" that is rarely accomplished in life. I have only one set of friends that are this way and it's so damned sweet... :) Anyway...it's not a bad goal, and makes a sweet poem.

I love this. If only it was real for so many people, the world would be a happier place.

Lovely work,relations are quite complicated sometime...good poem

[Marie Harrison]

Very sweet poem. You know, whose to say one relationship is better than anoother. It's the mutual love of two people that counts. Sometimes it's better to walk away, if there is abuse or infidelity involved. I've learned it's best not to judge. Lovely poem.
