To celebrate a marriage.

Can you believe it’s been this long?
This many years I’ve loved you.
What was I doing before you?
I didn’t know what love was; 
I didn’t know anything.
Look at the picture:
Two kids in a photo booth,
grinning.
I’m not that boy anymore;
you’re not that girl anymore.
Isn’t it amazing we’ve lasted this long?
We grew into other people, but those
other people 
found out they were living with someone
who turned out to be someone
special.

    Very nice… though in most cases when people grow into other people, they also discover that they have grown apart… Though it is always beautiful when one realises that one had made the right choice from the very beginning… Indeed that would be very special…
