Some months ago, we spent some time poring over old emails for the moment when we realized we were in love, and this was the day we both found. I know I said it before I wrote it, And I know you said it before too, but we can't remember the date. So, quirky as always, you insisted this be our anniversary, as it was the first dated evidence of our heart's path we could find. Arbitrary, perhaps, but it gave us a calendar square to red letter for "us". A year ago today, you began to hope that we might have a chance. A year ago today I first wrote the words "I love you" in an email. A year ago today, your heart leapt into your throat and your stomach clenched as you read those words and wondered, God, does she mean it? because you'd been feeling it for some time. A year ago today, I started growing up into the woman you saw in me, started finding I had the strength to realize my potentials, and the heart to accept the love you offered. A year from today, who knows where we will be, but with each other is the only thing not in doubt. Happy Anniversary, baby. And once again, (for the record) I love you. |
