it’s a joy
to spend my life
with you
& an even greater
happiness to share
everything we have
& do not have.
we’ve seen some
better & some
worse––
tasted sickness,
savored
health.
i love being
part of every breath
you take––
inhabiting your
smile––
& romping with your
laughter––
just as you’ve found
the whats & whys & hows
of loving
me.
the universe
has been kind
to gift us our
eachother
& when death
comes, we’ll never
part.
