"I love you..." you'd say.
"After ALL of these years?"
Then we'd laugh ourselves silly
and almost to tears.
"After ALL of these years,
I love you, too. . ."
(Tho' it had been only weeks
that I had known you.)
"After ALL of these years . . ."
we'd solemnly swear,
Then we'd marvel how quickly
Love brought us there.
A decade is ten years,
Twenty's a score,
Now . . .
Twenty-SIX years later...
I love you MUCH MORE!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Revised a poem I wrote several years ago, entered it in a contest where I sent it to my own true love as a Valentine. It won third prize, a lamp that will just fit perfectly in our "Rose Room" guest bedroom.
