anniversary

Today is a good day to tell you again that I love you
After one elliptical orbit of our tilted earth has passed
After that happy day you borrowed a dress
Standing beside me wearing a smile.

The words we said then were promises to continue
Looking upon each other the way we do
Giving to each other as we have for some years now
Not controlled by the history of the institution.

 I’m glad you decided to wear a ring on your left hand
That matches the ring on my left hand
That you took onto your finger deliberately
To symbolize our reliance on each other.

How good it is to share our lives together
Having a partner who is everything I need
Living the story of our lives on the same page
Enjoying the benefits of our union.
