The first was in twelve
and it all seemed so new…
I didn’t quite trust
that what we had was true…
But in that year I leapt
and together we traveled…
We began a new life
as my last one unraveled.
And when thirteen arrived
and Valentine’s came…
I was in love with you
and quite unrestrained…
Love can be scary but
you made it seem safe…
Our love in time flourished
when we came to this place.
In fourteen our love
was nourished and grew…
We’d made our new home
and I found that in you…
We’d planted our roots
and our love proved so awesome…
What was already beauteous
grew and then blossomed.
Now fifteen arrives
and what can I say?
You’re selfishly
still the best part of my day.
You’re my better half.
You’re my friend and my brother.
You’re my partner in crime.
You’re my family.
My lover.
You’re all of these aspects,
and I cherish them, true…
But someday I’ll make
an honest man out of you.
