Young Forever



I think less of ropes and poison,
I make names for our unborn children.

As my wedding dress danced in my dreams,
my funeral fantasies fade away.

They say love is when you want to grow old with them.
Oh, meri Jaan, I just want to stay young forever,
Stupid in love with you, forever.
I Want to freeze time,
Be twenty-one forever.

If I stay with you like this, in a moment frozen for an eternity,
I would not have to live a day without you,
Won’t have to grow old and die with you.

I don’t have any more words for you,
I wish I did,
I wish I could write you down in a book and at least attempt to explain the depth of what I feel for you.

Can we stay young forever?
Forever seems like just enough time,
to give you all my love.
