When summers have passed beyond
my fingers on both hands
When the color of my hair matches
the color of the full moon
When my body takes a different shape
and the pounds are easily seen
When the excitement felt from my
touch seems to lose its magic
Will you see me in a different way?
will your love for me change?
Or will you whisper each morning I
am still the love of your life?
Will you look upon me with the eyes
that adore and cherish me then?
Reminding me why you chose me to be
the one you share your life with?
Will your voice of reassurance when
I am blue, be a measure of your love?
Cradling me in your loving arms when
you see a tear escape my eye
All of these questions and many other's
wander through my mind as I say
Hold me close my darling and let me
feel your heart beat against mine
