I told you I'd love you forever

I'll love you when you're wrinkled,
I'll love you when you're old,
I'll love you when your hair falls out
and when you smell like mould.

I'll love you when you lose your teeth
because of gum disease
and when you need replacements
for your elbows, hips and knees.

I'll love you when you're half as tall
And hobble with a cane.
I'll love you when your mind decays
and you're declared insane.

I told you I'd love you forever.
