When

When you can write love poems
After seventeen years
About how she thrills you
From your toes to your ears

When you sit and daydream
Of the cute way she walks
And how you'd love to kiss her
While watching her talk

When after all those years
She knows all your faults
Still her touch makes you quiver
Like a pole vaulter vaults

When you find you love her
More and more every day
Then, my friend, you've got true love
Not much more I can say.
