if i am still able to laugh with my lieutenant as though we are without a care in the world when we are both oldies....
if he still holds my hand the way he does now.....
if he still kisses me goodnight before we sleep everynight.....
if we are still as deeply in love and commitment as we are now...
if we are still as contented with each other
i would have lived for everything that i have always believed in.
*cross fingers*
and toes.
