Grow old with you

"What do you want when you grow up?" my girl asked while looking at the sky.

"Mm why did you suddenly asked?" I asked back didn't bother to answer her question.

"I was just thinking of things." she answer without saying whats those THINGS she's saying.

"What things are you thinking?" I asked her again, I just feel like I need to know what is she thinking right now.

"I'm thinking if were still together after decades." she then looked at me like asking if, are we gonna still be the same.

"I wanna be with you when I grow old." I answered her question then looked at the sky like she did earlier.

I called her so that we can celebrate our 2nd anniv together me and my girl is now 2 years together and counting.

"My dream is to grow old with you, I wanna be your husband, father of your children, and I wanna live with you in a single roof. I wanna see you with a white gown and walking in the aisle with your dad." I'm not sweet, I'm not that kind of person but inside I want her to feel that shes my princess and will be my queen.

"What if I die early?" her question made me look at her shock.

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

"What if." she then repeated the first two words.

"Then I'll die too, I will never live without you, If you die, I also die, I might be alive physically but will never be back mentally." I sighed after answering her stupid question.

I don't like talking deaths I more like talking future plans together with her and our future children than talking about death.

"How many kids do you want?" I changed the topic, and thats the first question I come up with.

"2 or 1" she answered, she's not that close to kids because she's an only child and just like her favorite disney princess Rapunzel, she's like a prisoner 
when she was just a kid, her parents won't allow her to play with other kids.

"Hmm." I was thinking what question should I ask next her last question just made the atmosphere awkward.

"How about you? How many children do you want?" she was the one who asked.

"2 or 1" I repeated her answer, I saw her smile and laugh a bit before looking at me.

"You're inlove." she then laugh.

"Yeah, with you." I really love making her blush or shy her reaction's are cute and I love it.

I love everything about her, her smile, face, moves, attitude, for me she's perfect.

Months have past and my relationship with her became more stronger everytime I look at her It still feels like I'm looking at the most beautiful view in the world, universe.

I'm now 85 years old and I'm at the church praying to our beloved god, thanking him for all the good things he gave me and where about to give me.

I'm sitting beside a very beautiful old lady very similar to her face. I took my cellphone on my pocket and secretly tooked a picture of her, suddenly I don't know how to stop tha phone from lighting I forgot how to undo flash on camera's.

Then the beautiful old lady looked at me, when our eyes met and I can totally looked into her whole face flashbacks started to run on my mind.

This old lady has a very similar face to my girl but they have different eyes so shes not my girl.

"Is there a problem?" the old lady asked I just shaked my head and bowed for respect before leaving the church.

But sadly god wanted me to grow old without you.
