Radiating

I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
All I wanna do is grow old with you
I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice, growing old with you

We parked our bicycles on the side of the lake.
Then we sat on the bench.
We discussed many things, all things.
Oh except our political views.
Since I'm always resentful every time we talk about it.
We wondered at how people become so stupid in defending their religion.
Even when we just silently sat without talking anything, I felt comfortable.
You laid your head on my shoulder.
Wasn't really comfortable, was it?
For I am shorter than you.

I'll miss you
Kiss you
Give you my coat when you are cold
Need you
Feed you
Even let ya hold the remote control

Then you laid on my lap.
You closed your eyes.
You were smiling.
The wedding party behind us was crowded.
The singer sang 'I Wanna Grow Old With You'.
You sang it with your eyes closed.
I rubbed your head.
'Oh how your son is so lovely, God.' I thought.
I kissed your eyes and I smiled.
We were talking, sharing, laughing.
I farted, you were odor because of all the sweat.
But I found the scent was lovely.
The universe was radiating positive energy, happiness.
'Oh the Ruler of the Universe, can we stay like this forever?' I asked silently.

So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed when you've had too much to drink
I could be the man who grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you
-Adam Sandler, I Wanna Grow Old With You.
