Growing Old

I miss you.

And it's not just the I miss what we had.  It's the I miss what we never got.

I miss knowing what we looked like 10 years in.
20.
30.

My parents will celebrate 50 years of marriage next year.  We don't get that.

I want to see how you curl up with me after 10 years of the same Valentine's day.

I want to see how you handle a new house, a new life, growing nieces/nephews, and aging relatives.

I want to know how you would handle all the curveballs life gives us.  Be it a holiday going not as planned, or a life plan getting derailed.

We never got that.
