Our Love Begins With Memories

Our love begins with memories;

Scents of freshly mowed grass in the summer,

Hours spent at crowded pools,

Popsicle juice running down our chins.

Our connection was instant,

From careless conversations as kids on a school bus

To birthday invitations and sharing snacks.

Through pain and heartbreak,

We remained side by side,

Sharing hugs, sharing strength, and love.

Encouragement was the finest gift we gave,

From cookie platters to wrinkled notes,

Simple compliments or bubbly laughs.

Our love is the star-speckled sky,

Pure and endless as the universe.

Camping trips, baseball games, and water fights

Sparked our connection.

Flashlight tag, fireflies, and dancing 

Enhanced it.

Our relationship is precious,

Outlasting wishes made on dandelions

And hearts carved in the sand.

Knowing you was the start of this legacy,

While mutual support sealed our commitment.

Platinum, diamonds, gold, rubies, emeralds, and sapphires

Are outshined by your smile.

Luck from four leaf clovers,

Telling stories at midnight,

Roasting marshmallows,

Singing at the top of our lungs,

Add to my list of reasons our relationship is priceless.

No matter what, 

A piece of my heart is reserved for you,

Flooding with support.

My joy is yours,

Because I love you.
