2190 Days

You and me, Six years behind us. So many more words spoken So many places seen. Thousands of kisses and hugs Thousands of tears Both happy and sad. Four more miracles Blessed together beyond measure. Many sorrows left behind too. Many goodbyes said to others But not to each other Without being followed My more hellos. I loved you so much On day one of 2190. We held each other all day In the dark basement. Expressing that love over and over. Promising. Forever. And on this day, I love you 2190 times as much Plus six. For our 6 beautiful miracles That bring me so much joy. But not as much as your love. Your unconditional devotion. Your sweet tenderness for me. Your unending selflessness And your ability to never quit, Or give up, Or stop Trying. Not you. You are my night in shining armor My jeweled and regal King of the castle. My rugged brave hero in battle My strong, dauntless warrior. And I remain yours. Through all your many faces. I’m your distressed rescued princess Your gilded Queen in Jewels Your proud and fierce Valekyrie. Your warrior maiden in skirts and braids. Everything that is love, devotion and fortitude That is our love. Everything that is just and right Regardless of the light other eyes cast on it That is our love. Everything that is innocent, wild and free. Purity in our children’s eyes. Love filling our children’s souls And the beauty of everything In our world. That is my love for you. I see it in every lovely thing my eyes find. I hear it in all the music in the world. I feel it in every hug and touch. I taste it in everything sweet and savory. And I touch your heart. Everyday that you touch mine. I can’t wait until the next 2190 days Because I know they will Only be better. I love you Chris. My favorite. My pot pie. The wonderful father to my children. My man.
