Later Years
So what would we, had we not met, be doing in these later years?
Would we be sharing every day with someone else who, in some way,
Replaced ourselves, though not so well?
Or would we be alone, and get few pleasures as the ending nears?
In either case the life is so much lesser than the life we know.
We are much better paired, just so.
No better pair; there's none at all.
When I look back, at you and me, I recognize in us the two.
Who've had the generation's best and sweetest love, above the rest.
No other love is quite so good.
What makes it so? Why should it be? You may think I, but I think you.
You've made my life the richer one, your web the softest ever spun, and I would say this when I'm done:
I'd love you once more if I could.
And when our bones, both yours and mine,
Are resting in their separate spaces,
Mine won't remember lips on lips, your warmth on all my fingertips,
A smile that turns an old day new.
And yet our love has been as fine as any here or other places.
It's easy truth - not hard to see that we are matched near perfectly.
I am in you; you add to me.
We're so much better one than two.
So when it comes, whatever will, if the first is you or I,
Your love will stay with me until the day, the hour I lastly lie.
The first to leave, whichever be,
Till last I breathe, you live with me.
