US




"They'll make a statue of us, and put it on a mountain top. And the tourists will come and stare at us."

They'll name an airport after us. And we'll give every lover a discounted ticket to fly.
Because I won't have forgotten every plane ride where I wished you were in the seat beside me. 

The world will have pictures of us. They'll put pictures of us on young girl's fashion blogs. and Tumbler and we heart it and visualize us.

And they'll write songs about us, because we're merely but a myth to the kids with their ukuleles and guitars.

They'll make calendars themed with Us. You and me. But with a picture-a-day, because 12 pictures of me and you just wasn't enough for society, babe.

And the year we get married, our names will become the most popular boy and girl baby names of the year.

And the years we sail the seas, the oceanic creatures will all go wild and each have creature babies. No one will know why, science will never explain it, just "Love".

And, darling, each time we have a baby, the amount of Yellowstone Parks passes sold is tripled. Yes, every time.

And that day we die together, each 15 year old girl and every 16 year old boy in the world will receive a daisy from nobody in particular. But they'll wonder if it was because of Us.
