Where We Begin

So this is where we begin
No more wondering where we end.
I have you now, we
have each other.
And I don't, and haven't, and won't
miss the angst and
the rollercoasters.
No, no more rollercoasters.
Well, except the ones at the parks.
The real ones.

I am not afraid to look in your eyes
Because what I see there, matches
What is in mine.  Perhaps for
the first time.  Ever.  
And oh, what a full-moon feeling
that is.  What a beginning-of-fall
Glass-full-of-wine-in-front-of-the-firplace
Feeling this is.  
And I know you won't mind that I
treasure it.  

So this is where we begin
No more wondering if we'll end
And I'll come home to you
And you'll make me laugh, the
stomach-hurting laughter that no
sit-com ever achieved.  Though for years
I gave them a hundred chances.
But you, you make me laugh
Not the little-smile-sitcom chuckle I used to find
The real kind.
