For those in love to stay,
I join you in a toast!
And share in the boast,
that I have someone too.
She was my friend, now she is my wife.
Long ago, we said “I do.”
It’s what I wanted from the start.
I just knew.
It works that way for just a few.
to know from a glance—they’re the one.
I saw my bride from across a crowded room.
I told the man standing next to me,
“See that girl?”
And I huddled in close,
and pointed her out.
“She’s the one for me!”
He laughed and walked away.
I said, hello.
and two years later,
she said I do.
I just knew.
After awhile,
you can’t imagine, sleeping alone.
It will happen to you.
For 37 years, I didn’t know I snored, like that.
Like some thunderous storm,
I
AM
LOUD!
She never said.
and I was awed,
and understood.
That it was Love.
You’ll have those moments too.
And like a wondrous sauce,
your love will be stirred on high heat.
It will rumble and roar,
then reduce into a concentrated blend
of all the flavors that you are.
What remains, is precious
and a wonder to consume.
And like gold refined in a crucible of fire,
IT
WILL
BE
PURE.
Make it last.
It’s well within your grasp.
You’ll know you’ve arrived,
when after a hundred years,
you stare into each other’s eyes and say:
“You still make me laugh,”
and then you kiss
and hold a fond embrace.
And understand,
that this is Love.
