When we were young we knew each other's wants without a word,
Anticipated needs and sought to please,
And as the years passed by we stayed sublimely undisturbed,
So comforted, content, and so at ease.

We two have sat in fields grown high and laughed into the wind,
We've danced to many songs, and drank the wine.
We've savored stolen glances, ridden bareback unchagrined,
We've played the games of youth and come out fine.

Now as our days grow shorter, let me say I love you still,
So grateful for the way our lives have been,
For you have shown me love and I believe you always will,
Until the day we part the earth, and then.
