a day just like this

it was a day just like this

twelve plus years ago

that I said yes 

to the best 

and hardest commitment 

i’ve ever made

 

but yet

despite

the tears

the losses

the daily struggles 

that make us wonder 

if we’re on the right path

 

that decision 

to be together

is not one

i’ve ever questioned

 

and days like this

 

brilliant blue

shaded with smoky grays

cluttered with billowing whites

the open sky

embuing in us 

a sense of cleansing

new life

the conviction

that anything 

is possible

 

i remember

a day just like this

twelve plus years ago

 

i said yes

to the best person i know

the one i have since loved 

imperfectly

but 

with passion

with complete trust

without reservation

without regret for what we have been 

content with who we are

and hope in what we will become

 

it was a day just like this

when what i thought

would always be just a dream

became 

my past

my present

my future

 

it was a day just like this

brilliant blues

shaded by smoky grays

and cluttered with billowy whites

when you 

moved from my dreams

to my reality
