KEEP THIS IN MIND

KEEP THIS IN MIND

Keep this in mind, in these days of fading glory
That you and I have just begun to write a lasting story.

That I would be lost without you.
You and your disorganized checkbook,
You and your bedtime workouts,
You and your Debbie Harry,
You and your Blondie songs.

Keep this in mind, before you dance with other men.
That we have barely scratched the surface and that I’m a jealous one.
Whose wrath can be awakened faster than a loaded gun.

That I would be cold without your touch,
You and your distaste for germs
And your disregard of my beautiful feet.

You and your love of soft serve ice cream
And after dinner your something sweet.

That I would hunt you down and find you,
If ever you should wander far
And bet my life upon our love,
And the alignment of our Zodiac stars.

Me Scorpio, intense and loyal,
And you Pisces, sign of the fish.
The love I’ve always wanted, fulfillment of my every wish.

Keep this in mind, my lover dear, when you think your days are done,
That you are both my night and day, my rising and my setting sun.
