Talking in the mornings before school
Asking him out
Taking him to dinner
Laughing over each other’s jokes
Holding hands during  a film
Giving him my jacket when it gets cold
Kissing his cheek good night
Smiling over a picnic at the beach
Dancing to our favorite songs
Spilling secrets over late night phone calls
Kissing his lips for the first time
Holding him tight throughout the night
Being there when tragedy struck
Proposing in the middle of a middle of a restaurant
Crying tears of joy when he says yes
Telling memories during the wedding plans
Saying ‘I do’ in front of our families
Making love for the whole night after
Buying our own house together
Meeting our surrogate children for the first time
Watching as they take their first steps
Romantic candle-lit dinners for every anniversary
Applauding at our children’s school graduation
Sitting on our deck with our grandchildren running around
Soft kisses as we age
Together til death do us part
If only.
