A smile crosses the room

Hands touch

Stories exchanged

Laughter

Flirting

Stolen kisses

Secrets shared

Attachments deepen

Vows exchanged

Forever

Forever

Forever

In sickness

In health

For better

For worse

For worse

For worse

Short tempers

Angry words

Shame and guilt

And guilt

And guilt

Don’t give up

Talking

Talking

Talking

This is how bleeding leads to beauty

To forgiveness

To forgive

Forgive

To love is a beautiful thing

And messy

Messy

Messy

Messy and ours

Forever

Forever

Forever

A smile crosses our living room

Hands touch

A lifetime exchanged
