anniversary

Getting ready packing up

So much to do before we go

On the road on our anniversary

The best I can do is to repeat


Today is a good day to tell you again that I love you

After another 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.
