Why do you call me that?

I call him Speedy.
He calls me Darling.

When we are old and grey (ok, we're already grey), will we still use these names?

"Now why did you start calling me that," I will ask him.
He'll say he doesn't recall and he'll ask why I call him Speedy.
I won't recall either.

Even though we both have perfectly lovely names, I like these names better.
They have character.
They are endearing.

So here's to you, Speedy!
I will forever be your Darling.
