my most recent writing attempt is as follows: Since the day we met I was content To sit and just be with you; I lived for the excitement of Loving you, and being loved by you. Now separated for far too long, I desperately ache for the day When you and I shall be one name: Fully loving you, and being loved by you. I don't have any big dreams, No world-changing aspirations All I want in this world is simple: To love you, and be loved by you. Looking into your caring eyes, Smiling and seeing you smile in return, Resting safe in one another's arms— Oh, loving you, and being loved by you! People may say I'm a simpleton, Or wasting my life where there's more; But I know what makes me happiest: To love you, and be loved by you. Even when this lovers' time is past And life is our activities day-to-day, Raising kids and taking care of our home Is loving you, and being loved by you. And being grandparents, old and wrinkled, I will hold your hand and cook for you And sit and watch the world go by, Content to love you, and be loved by you. This may sound like a boring life to some But I see what matters most: Not worldly aspirations of riches and glory— But loving you, and being loved by you.
