When you are old and can't find where you put your teeth I will be there. I will barely chastise you for forgetting and if I do we will forget I did together. When you need a little more time to walk around the car to open my door and I need more time than yesterday to ease my way out only to reach your slightly trembling hand then you will know. When you see me in my aged beauty through cataracts that have gotten worse but not too bad that you don't see me. When you look for me and only me every day and with each rising sun, eagerly seeking the warmth in my eyes that see only you. When you sit across from me and tell me that same story for the millionth time and I lean in fixated on your every word as if hearing it for the very first time because I love the way you and only you tell it then you will know. When we lay in bed at night and laugh at silly things that only matter to our silly selves you will know.
When we cuddle even when we are not cold, touch because we can't resist the connection, kiss just because we love the tingle that follows. When we bicker over the small stuff only to end up calling a truce over a ham and cheese sandwich and a shared soda pop then you will know.
When you open my third dresser drawer and discover tucked in the way back just out of sight the very love letters you wrote me from so many decades back, you will know. You will find each carefully preserved as if they were a bank note with sky high value.
When it is dark and there is no one else around and it is my voice you hear calling out to you as if there is no other for me but you no matter what, you will know. When we take walks and I say slow down not because I can't keep up but because I want to preserve the moment lost in your presence, you will know.
When I say I love you more than yesterday and tomorrow will never be enough time with you... Know that is why ......And that is exactly as God intended.
I am so glad you never asked that other question. Instead you asked me to marry you and together we have built a marriage where the milk has always been so sweet. Nothing has been free but any cost I would gladly pay from now til eternity.
