Lifelong Fling

The moon blind-sided the sky again As we grabbed loose ends of the tide and then The slippery slide You know I can't say when I ever took a ride that could slap me this silly With roiling joy Lazy as sin Lyin' up in heaven with my special friend And the space he's in It can make a girl grin In the beginning of a lifelong fling

I wrote down a dream Folded the note Slipped it in the pocket of my tattered coat

I wrote down a dream In invisible ink It never was mine I'm beginning to think

I wrote down a dream What more could I do I drew myself a picture and the picture was you

I wrote myself a riddle

I said, What I wouldn't do To give something good To a love like you

I wrote down a dream Folded the note Passed it to you we stepped in our boat

Sailed 'round the world We were hoping to find More than the sum of all we left behind

I wrote down a dream But what was it now And why does it feel so distant somehow

Did I take too long Did I get it wrong You're still the missing line in my favorite song

--Over the Rhine

Today is our 10th anniversary. Unbelievable! Our love grows quieter and richer and deeper. Nate, you are my lifelong fling. Let's run away together :)

Many congratulations on such an accomplishment. I still remember your wedding--didn't you have cakes shaped decorated like Christmas presents?

I'd love to hear reflections on how to still be in love after 10 years.

That's so sweet it about makes me cry (in a good way).

Happy Anniversary :) I'm glad to know two people who figured it out.

Squishes!
