We Could Have Been the Perfect We

You gave up on us,
on our high school sweetheart life,
Our break ups,
our make ups,
our loosing each other,
and our finding each other,
our ramen noodles in dorm rooms,
and our corky roomates,
our forever friendship
our hard times
and our sacrifices for our love
our perfect engagement,
our wedding jitters,
our i do's,
and our vows,
our first kiss of holy matrimony
our just married,
and our first honey moon,
our being one,
and our perfect moment,
our anniversaries,
our first house,
our first car,
our successful career
our first child,
second child,
watching them grow,
our getting old,
our midlife crisis,
our old rocking chairs,
our graves side by side,
our almost perfect lives,
as man and wife,
'til death do us part.
But you gave up on that...
