well, it's been a while.
I wrote "evergreen" when
we had been together
two months;
"evergreen addendum" after
a year and a half.
it's been almost eleven years now,
married for seven.
I can barely remember
the me I was
when I wrote those poems;
the me in college,
before law school,
before the many moves.
it's funny that I knew back then
what I know now.
I don't understand
how I was so sure,
but here we are.
I'm still excited to see you,
even though I see you every day.
See? I’ve always
felt this way.
I always will.
