Year three...

Year three begins with "dual residences" again.
How do I ever agree to this.
A glorified name for " long distance relationship".
We met and married "too soon" by anyone else's standards.
I waited my whole life for YOU.
It was worth the wait.
A million times over.
It wasn't soon enough for me.
Nothing about US has been typical.
Tonight I almost wish we were.
The couple with a nine to five
Followed by tv and then off to bed.
Entirely predictable.
I could go for that tonight.
Instead I count down until next time.
I read and reread your sweet exchanges
Evidences of the distance.
Evidences more of your unfailing support.
I know this is for ME.
A gift only you can give.
And for this I am thankful.
