I was 16 and my wife was 18. Who's the smooth talker? But its been 34 years now. She's still the oldest.

Yeah, someone like me :o). Met my wife when I was 16 and she was 21. Got married the week I turned 18. Coming up to our 20th anniversary in a couple months.

"Read it and weep."

I didn't weep....but my eyes sure "teared" up.

Lovely poem.

Thanks!

"You'd've been better off with bitter. ;O)"

Oh goodness no - that would have projected far too much depth and romanticism into this simple guy ;)

Ha! You win. LOL

I dated my first serious girlfriend when I was 17 and she was 20. I broke up with her though a week later - the church was sponsoring a formal Christmas Banquet for the youth and I needed a brunette to match the limo.

I knew a couple who went the same way. After about 50 years of marriage they died of heart attacks within an hour of each other.

It's not a poem, it's a beautiful song by Kathy Mattea.
