Wherever, Whatever, However

Wherever you go in life,

I’ll be your shadow on a gloomy day.

Telescopic lens, we’ll photograph the moon,

Hoping crashing meteors fall our way.

When your schizoaffective brain tricks you,

Borrow my eyes, ears, and nose.

Let insanity consume us together -

I Promise, I won’t make you sniff my toes.

Feeling anything but perfect?

With me you can shed tears.

We’ll be dafties together,

Shattering any fears.

And I love you,

With every particle I am.

Want you and need you - 

That’s the master plan.

Whatever you happen to do,

I’m always by your side.

Stuck to you like gorilla glue,

I’ll find you when you hide.

And I’m not going anywhere - 

No getting rid of me.

We promised forever and always,

Even if you beg, scream, or plea.

Our battle scars show us:

We can make it through this life.

No matter what’s thrown at us - 

As Husband and Wife.

I’ll be your cheerleader,

Badly sing your favourite song.

As long as we’re together,

We can survive what goes wrong.

Because I love you - 

More than I can articulate.

Broken souls brought together,

Our destiny and fate.

There’s no love like ours - 

No-one can deny.

And we’ve got four middle fingers;

For anyone that wants to try.

However, we made it;

Twenty-four years so far.

So, here’s to forever...

I’ll meet you at the bar.
