I remember when we were new together.
I thought you were the hottest thing on two feet.
I loved to watch you walk,
I thought you had a bit of a swagger that was sexy.
Turns out it was just a limp from an old back injury.
I remember your fu manchu,
it was your trade mark.
I thought it was sexy and looked good on you.
Then the radiation made it all fall out, never to grow back.
I remember when we were new together,
I thought you were the hottest thing on two feet.
I loved you more than I could say.
I was happy in every way.
Then years passed and changes came along,
you were afraid I’d love you less, but you were wrong.
I love you in a way today I didn’t know how back then.
I don't just love you with all my heart, I need you too.
I still think you’re sexy, but in less superficial ways.
I know that you love me too, by what you say and do.
I remember loving you when we were new,
it does not compare to this love I have for you.
We’ll be happy growing old and gray,
the best is yet to be, just wait and see.

Hey Jimmy!
Good to see you here! thanks for the read and compliment. I consider that high praise coming from you, whom I consider to be one of the best love poem writers in the business. ~L
