Anniversary
We have been in love so long
we have our own vocabulary;
short cuts to showing what’s in our hearts.
We share our children, our family, our day-to-day
routines and conversations.
There are references no one else could fathom
and memories we hold as secret treasure,
forever full of love and laughter.
We have lived and laughed so long that
sights and sounds and unedited opinions
meet and meld with all our flaws and virtues--
and through it all, we are one:
a single heart between us.
And-- if ever asked again
that long-ago initial question--
that ceremonial and vital question--
we’ve been in love so long that we both would say
“I do.”
