Devotion Notion

I love that one with whom I sympathize. - Thoreau

who'll love me when i'm old

when the winter shivers long and cold

when our epilogue is finally told

i take you in my arms

in the here and now

kissing you today

loving you in every way

the song is in me

and the music in you

promise me we'll never break but sway

come what may

tired, aching fingers intertwined

eternity demanding an encore

asking us to bow and stay

as seasons come and go

and romance endures

always finding a way

whilst we kneel and pray

Author's Note

"May we so love as never to have occasion to repent of our love!" - Thoreau

We long and want for the person we will spend the rest of our lives with. If we are lucky we get to spend many years with that person.

Love the imagery of music and notes playing in each other
