My Future

I used to think of my future

And when I did,

There wasn't one.

I used to think

"I'll be dead by 22"

"I'll either die

From some freak accident

Or I'll end up with blood on

My own hands"

When I think of my future now

I think of you.

I think of falling asleep

Next to you.

I think of waking up to my alarm

And not being mad that it went off

I'll be happy

Because I'll open my eyes

And you'll be laying next to me.

I think of coming home

And smelling something nice

Because you made us dinner.

I think of coming home

And seeing a vase

Filled with my favorite red roses.

I think of seeing your soap

And your toothbrush

And your hairbrush

Lying right next to mine.

I think of never feeling like

My life will end within 10 years

Because yours is mine.

And yours will last a millennia.

I think of lying next to you

In bed

In the car

In an airplane

In our graves.

Because we are eternal.

You gave me a future.

One that i thought

I would never have.

You are my future.
