Love Paired is Love Shared: Do You Remember?

Do you remember the first time we met she said,
Your friends thought all you wanted was to get me in bed
You wore a funny woolly jumper, plaid shirt and string vest
But you soon showed them that you loved me best.

I do he said, I’m fully aware, wasn’t I there!

Do you remember the first holiday together we had,
It rained most the time and the food was bad
You wore sandals with cotton socks to save on cost
And after wandering through the mud we got lost.

I do he said, I’m fully aware, wasn’t I there!

Do you remember our having our very first child?
And you said beforehand that it would drive you wild
But you were great and helped change her nappy
And clad her in Liverpool gear just like a chappy.

I do he said, I’m fully aware, wasn’t I there.

Do you remember how my Mum felt you were odd?
And my father thought you should get a real job
But you showed them that our love was sound
By agreeing to help out in the local dog pound.

I do he said, I’m fully aware, wasn’t I there.

Do you remember the time when I was really unwell?
And you told the in-laws that they could go to hell
And you ordered all the food in to avoid eating out
And drank so much that you too had a vomiting bout

I do he said, I’m fully aware, wasn’t I there.





Do you remember how as we really grew feeble and old
That some people said that you were far too cold
And had true feelings only for yourself to the letter
But me in my wisdom I always knew better.

I do he said, I’m fully aware, wasn’t I there.

Do you remember how it was said that we made a fine pair?
And it’s because you agreed it’s important to share
So let’s not pay any heed to what some people say
Because we know we’re blissfully happy anyway.

I do he said, I’m fully aware, wasn’t I there.

So before you pass judgement on this family affair
Be careful to realise that you weren’t really there
And facile impressions can be deceptive it’s true
For a couples’ personal happiness is a strange brew.

Addendum:

This verse is for amusement only and is written in jest
So just try to enjoy it if you don’t consider me a pest!
But don’t simply dismiss it and say it’s very unfair,
Think instead; get fully aware, you could be there.
