6 years...

Today
is our 6-year anniversary.
We spent new year's weekend away
just the two of us.
It wasn't romantic really
But
it was good.
I'm thankful
for this wonderful man in my life.
Really.
I wish I always saw it wonderful
but it's hard.
I wish I was more thankful
but that's hard too.
I wish I didn't have expectations
but I'm a woman,
married to a man
so sometimes
there's a clash
between dream and reality.
I guess
I love him so much
I want more of him.
I want
to talk and laugh and cuddle.
I want to dream.
No stress,
no demands.
But that
isn't real.
Real is...
being together.
Sharing the same memories.
Watching your children be born,
building a family,
going places,
knowing all the details
about a single person
Yet wondering
who he will become.
What is ahead?
Where will we go?
How do we get there?
But knowing all the same
right here
is where I want to be.
