a book to pour my heart out

24

One day, at 24,
I will wake up next to you.
I will smile and watch you sleep
And the smell of detergent and coffee
Will be the first thing I notice about you.

One day, at 34,
We will be woken up by a small cry.
Maybe two if we are lucky
We will make some space in between
To fit all four of us
And our pet dog, Jasper too.

One day, at 44,
I will realise that time waits for no one.
I will reminisce about my youthful glow
And you would just laugh
Telling me that you love me the way I am
Like you did at 24

One day, at 54,
I would have to dress my daughter up.
She would be so excited for her big day
And would gleam with excitement
Like I did at 24
When I felt like the world stopped for us

One day, before 24,
I would make a wish to the universe
Praying that even in another life,
Fate favours us and brings us together
Even in our next 1000 lives
And maybe forevermore.
