Will you still love me when i’m 64

We laid out chairs today; three.
One was where we are now
One was twenty years time
One was another twenty

Peers saw themselves with a dog,
With a life
living the perfect married life
they saw kids
they saw joy
one baby girl
one baby boy
I saw wood and marble and stone
I saw me, drinking coffee alone
They saw houses, neat and trim
I saw wine bottles and a recycling bin
They saw colour, life, love bitten
I saw a perfect new fitted kitchen
They saw smiles and laugher and fun
I saw two ready meals for one
