Today is not Yesterday

by MaKaila Clegg

Today

I do not shower

But you tell me I smell like a flower

Today

I misplaced my toothbrush

So you gave me a brand new one

Today

I do not match

Yet you insist I am still a catch

Today 

I kissed you only once

And you said kisses do not declare love

Today 

I am your wife

Or, as you say, I am your life

Today

I am old, I am gray

And you still love me anyway
