Ten years that we’ve been married
It’s been so much longer though hasn’t it?
Sixteen years together
It feels like both a lifetime and not enough time
I didn’t know then the difference you’d make in my life
Though I should have
Looking back I should have noticed the way the air felt different
Thicker and somehow more crisp
How did I miss the way time both stopped and started going by so fast
I should have known my life wouldn’t be the same
I should have known then that only you could make an outsider like me feel unconditionally loved
Only you
I didn’t know because I didn’t think unconditional love was real outside of maybe a parents love for their baby
Though I should have known better when I met you
Nothing was the same after that
Looking back over these years
We’ve been through so much
How did we survive it all?
So many ups and so many downs
The only constant has been you
Exclusively you
You’ve seen me at my very worst too many times to count
And yet you’re still here
Always just you
I must have done something so very right to deserve you
Whatever it was
I know it wasn’t enough
I’ll spend my whole life
Thanking the universe for giving me you
Only ever you
‘And I’d choose you; in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I’d find you and I’d choose you.’
‘ I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.’
Happy Anniversary! What you wrote was so incredibly sweet! I am SO happy you have a husband that is so wonderful and treats you so well, because that is what you deserve! You are an amazing woman that deserves man that stands by your side, no matter what!!!! I hope the two of you had a wonderful day and enjoyed every moment of remember the years together and look back at your wedding day with nothing but smiles and happy thoughts!!!! Much love my dear!!!
