I Wanna Spend This Life With You

I can live this life alone
I’ll be just fine on my own
But you know what I wanna do
I wanna spend this life with you
Fight you, bite you, hold you tight all night and write about you
Scold you, hold you when it’s cold and grow old with you
Make you fly, never lie or say goodbye or make you cry
Entertain you, make it rain for you, drive you insane and do it all again
Love you like a dove
Make you smile for a while
Be a clown when you’re down
Never let you frown
You know I can live this life alone
It’ll be so dull on my own
So you know what I wanna do
I wanna spend this life with you

  1. This is so refreshingly nice change to hear from the usual ‘love your own company’ stuff. It’s nice to see acknowledged that we need somebody special and that we are fulfilled when we find someone special. Many people would love to be with someone who they’d feel that way towards & express similar feelings in the poem, but for too many people out, it’s a far-flung dream. The ups and downs of a significant other are better than social isolation. I’ve forgotten the rest of what I was going to say.

  2. I can sense a lot of unsaid that is conveyed through this poem. There is loss, grief, love, separation and hope too of wanting to spend the life with that special someone who needed to be cared. Adorable work.
