Timeless Love…

Timeless Love: Reflections on a Decade Together

An opinion, please—don’t have one,

especially about us.

Get to know how deep your

flaws outweigh our odds

of lasting beyond September.

It’s okay to forget who you

are so you can see me the way

I see you—an angel, nothing less,

and everything worth more than

a priceless souvenir.

I hold an opinion; I’ve had it since we met.

It’s more of a resolute conclusion,

a conclusion that resonates within me.

The first day we met,

nestled beneath the sprawling branches

of an ancient maple tree,

I knew you were meant for me—you share

that opinion.

We’re still together ten Septembers later,

with a spitting image of you,

Wearing jeans and an oversized Nirvana shirt,

swinging on the tire swing.
