| 2 days, 8 hours, 8 minutes and 32 seconds. until I begin my fourth year with you. In essence it will be our second wedding anniversary. Our third anniversary as a couple. But all it is, is a numbers game. Just days and hours to count to remind ourselves of reality. Reality that life changed on September 28th, 2002. When you first walked through my door, and I told you about this new author I had started to read. I saw that it wasn't the book keeping you smiling, it wasn't the vivid words displayed on the pages. Rather it was how you held my hand, and then asked if you could kiss me. We will spend another night, probably lying around in our "comfy" clothes. tattered old flannel pants, and tank tops. Maybe we'll make a steak on the grill, and toast to us and the new year with cheap carbonated apple juice. then we'll kiss. but it won't be spectacular. it won't remind me that i love you, it won't tell me that we have greatness in the future. i know that every night before our eyes give way to the sandman. so on a night when others dress to kill and wait for that special kiss come midnight. i'm sure we'll be lying in bed naked together, maybe even made love hours before, and we'll entere into the new year quietly. just as it began every year before. |
