— transcribed by hand, this morning —
My dearest you,
It seems impossible — and yet here we are.
Another year, another quiet little forever,
written in the small things only we know.

and I am greedy for every year still coming —
the slow mornings, the borrowed sweaters,
all of it, with you, on purpose.
with all of me,

The Photographs

developed slowly, kept carefully

memory
— first coffee, late autumn —
memory
— a sunrise we didn't plan for —
memory
— the day "yours" became "ours" —
memory
— a small kitchen, a big toast —
memory
— the long way home, on purpose —
memory
— rain, and nowhere better to be —
memory
— your laugh, mid-sentence —
memory
— an evening we let run late —

a thousand other lives and this one,
i would still pick you. every time.
