We met years ago
On this day,
the 365th to pass.
Our love a most epic affair
Like a beautiful film
about some noble's past.

My mind swirls with reasons why
We were drawn to first kiss.
I guess the thought of it
Was just too much to resist.

I said "I love you",
Then your face turned pale.
My eyes saw yours hide,
Your fear the heart's veil.

But twenty years
And eleven months later,
Your skin glows like I know
Your soul does within.
I'm so glad we're together,
My most precious diamond.
