happy anniversary

finally i have time for those evening walks. she talks and laughs, and i think, "anyone who sees us now must think we're the happiest couple." and for at least right now, we are.

i clean the kitchen and mop the floors, wash the clothes. cook the dinner, balance the checkbook. run the errands. feels good to do for her what she did for me -- take care of everything else while the spouse works and goes to school.

i listen to her tell about her day. tell her about mine. hold her close. tell her i missed her.

i wish i could hear her say that she's finally gotten what she's always wanted.
