20 Years Today
when a man
and a woman
get married
they have no idea
what the future holds
falling in love
is easy
standing there
dressed up
saying, “I do”
is simple
living together
alone
is luxurious
sharing meals
and movies
and the day
is comforting
laughing and being silly
is natural
giving each other space
is essential
getting mad and getting over it
is necessary
taking each other for granted
is a given
understanding, being understood
is needed
hearing what’s not said
is important
being your own person
is intended
supporting each other’s dreams
is real
disappointment, regret
is tough
giving and receiving comfort
is human
knowing what’s worth it
and what ain’t
is key
making mistakes and owning them
is growth
putting the other first
is unselfish
creating a life of balance
is universal
learning something new
is sharing
wanting what’s best for the other
is friendship
believing in the other
is respect
not agreeing but agreeable
is compromise
finding the humor
is grounding
noticing the little things
is big
being grateful
is happiness
being in the moment
is living
being yourself
is freedom
being emotional
is a woman
being oblivious
is a man
being humble
is endearing
being real
is renewing
being quiet
is peaceful
being strong
is required
being happy
is within
being loved
is everything
