As Long As It's With You

"I don't mind being afraid with you"
-Belle

I don't mind being afraid with you.
I don't mind growing old
all grey and wrinkled and experienced
so long as it's with you.
I don't mind tip-toeing through life
as everything about us withers
and the day grows into night
as long as our bed is ours.
I don't mind watching us lose everything
except for a hand to hold
as long as it is yours.
I don't mind being surrounded
by the deepest of mists
as long as it's with you.
