thirteen years

most of my memories are a blur
with sharpness in the
happiest
and the horrible

i remember leaving on my tiara 
after our wedding
but changing into cargo pants
because I was afraid of staining
that pretty white dress

i remember you in a gray t-shirt
(much like today)
looking for me
and pulling me toward you
when you thought 
no one was looking

married
rings exchanged
promises made
oaths etched into this lifetime

i love you
i love you
​i love you
together
