Before the Time

Before the time,
you came into view,
there was no one,
I knew exactly like you.

So here we sit at
the end of our life,
you are my love,
my beautiful wife.

Too many memories,
when I reflect.
Why am I still standing,
why am I erect?

I should be,
in a hole in the ground,
or my ashes tossed
in the wind, blown around.
