The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Still the One

Close your eyes a moment, breathe in deep
 clear your mind of all the noise and dream of sleep;
listen as my heart beats slow and steady
 leaning on the memories, unexpected delights at the ready;
mark the years, some forty nine well shared
 oh what an interesting image we paired;
don't say a word, none necessary at this stage,
 your smile enough, embrace of youth,  joy of old age;
love and time is all we ever needed in life's run
 meant to be and for me, you are still the only one.
