Year after year and I love her still. I know at times it seems we made a mistake by getting married young but look at us now, you with beauty and me with my gray.

let’s have a Ménage à trois

you, me, and an opportunity

to find unexpected 

possibilities

we can experiment

with affection

and act like

adolescents or 

we could

act like we did 

when we were in our

twenties,

 almost grown

but still had the energy

 to make crazy seem fun

you remember

the days when

 my back

 would have you

walking funny?

we could pass

all that, pass all this 

and end at a time

when there’s

still you and I 

sitting in our 

rocking chairs

 holding hands

and admiring

  our wrinkles

reminiscing

about that one

opportunity

that one day

that gave us

 the possibility

to have something

unexpected

    Takes me back to my twenties, when I was a little more flexible and limber (LOL!!!!!).

    That is so sweet and romantic. My hubby and I often talk about us being in our rocking chairs and reminiscing about our youth.

    This is awesome, made me want to go out and buy an extra rocking chair for my non-existent significant other. Great job and thanks for sharing. You do have a way with words. Keep up the good works.

    Memories of special relationship times are detailed well with special imagery you pen so well.

    Ah – the joys of growing old together! The beauty of being married for over 20 years is that we can reminisce about our youth and the \”remember whens?\”
