I see us One year from now You're visiting We're viewing apartments Imagining Batman posters here And zombie portraits there

I see us Two years from now We're in London illicitly decorating Finally planning the damned (blessed!) wedding Drinking Earl Grey Laughing and laughing

I see us Five years from now Curled up on the sofa with the dog lying across your knees (Too big now, really, but you still always let her And she can't lie on mine, since the bump's in the way) Sunshine through open windows

I see us Ten years from now Noisy lovely messy life Every day an adventure of school, work, chaos, joy We steal kisses between the craziness Proud ship, beloved anchor

I see us Thirty, forty, fifty years from now Faces loved into different shapes A love story written not in ink but in smile lines A quiet steady warmth like the heat of aged wine Still kissing like teenagers on the porch...
