"Happy Anniversary"
@Uootem
The day approaches again... an annual happening
And I find myself thinking of our time from long ago
Wondering if, hoping that somehow for some reason
You are also thinking of that extraordinary time.
The innocence of young love of our mutual experience
The love that I in many ways still believe in
I speculate, I deliberate, I fantasize, (forgetting reality)
could it be possible that you still remember and continue to feel it too.
I become aware of myself... smiling, sighing, filling with warmth
as I think of what went before in that long-ago lifetime
And in my conjecture, I labor with potential reasons
Trying to find the reason that our love didn't endure.
The kiss from your lips, your touch, our embraces
all defining the depths of love once shared
A love that we freely gave to one another... without question.
Makes me wonder, and consider if you miss them the same way.
The special moments of laughter and those of tears
These fill the memories of us to overflowing
With the reminisce of each moment I stop to analyze
If it really was love, or just some childhood game.
I notice the little things that surround me everyday
Little things that immediately remind me of how we fit together
If you can still see those things, as I see them
then our love still has a chance to find us again.
Next year at this time I will find myself here again
Writing poetry and thinking of you again... my year on year ritual
And as I find words to put on a new sheet of paper
I will know in my heart that love and its hopes never end.
Happy anniversary... love of my life.
