Imagine being in love
for twenty years.
Twenty years of loyalty,
promise, and forgiveness.

Imagine being in love
for forty years.
Forty years of honesty,
sharing, and openness.

Imagine being in love
for sixty years.
Sixty years of love
and all its adventures.

Imagine being in love
for all its endeavors.

All we know
is we want to be
each other's firsts.

You cried,
and I held you in my arms.
Never wanted to let you go.

Tears of happiness,
the best kind of tears to shed,
built up in your eyes.

I wiped them away,
told you it'll be okay,
just praying for this to stay.

Make balloons
of your cherished dreams,
and inflate them
with your passion and spirit,
then let them fly,
but,don't forget
to tie them
with best efforts.

The yak-er said,
"Crushing on you so hard"

All I could think of was you.

The neighbors' constant bumping
isn't a bother,
even if it is 9 in the morning,
and I should still be sleeping.

But happiness I have not felt
in a while
trumps all.

Need to feel it now
before I find it slipping away.
