Our love is like an eighteenth century dance,
Old and out of step.
(Not to say I don't love dancing out of beat
And pretending no one's watching.)

Our love is like a pocketwatch,
Outdated and out of time.
(But I like to race the clock,
And being late is just like being on time.)

So our love is like old times
Good and looked over
Because pocketwatches are still in style
But only for the older.
So here's to love and old-fashion
Because here's to love and a great Forever-After.
Not very well written but it's from the heart. Something may be outdated but that doesn't mean it doesn't work.

Inspired by UniqueExpression's prompt 'Pocketwatches' because I have a secret love for them ^^

I liked the first strophe a lot, when the words were just an allusion to the pocketwatch, an unmentioned metaphor. I felt like the actual introduction of the item was a bit obvious, after a super original opening.
