My Love,

I love you in every drip of coffee
that falls from our old machine
we picked out together years ago
when you moved in with me.
Our home always seems warmer
when you pour me a cup in the morning.
I watch you dance with every sip, and in
that moment you are brighter than the sun.
I love you in every decaying flower
that sits in my mother's vase by the foyer,
still beautiful in the light of our love.
Each petal on the table is a reminder
of the day we spent together
shopping for groceries and falling asleep
in the midday sun, holding your hand.
In that moment, you are the only being
who matters in every universe.
I love you in the hairs I pluck
from your beautiful brow,
shaping you into the handsome
and talented artist I believe in
every moment your voice rings
across an empty parking lot
or in the passenger seat of our car.
In that moment you are the future
I want to live through.
I love you in the unfolded laundry
that spills across our room,
because I spent all my energy
trying to impress you
with a clever pun and yearning
for my lovely wife.
In that moment you are
a paragon of joy, my love.
I am yours entirely.
Forever and always.
