for the animal doctor on our second '2nd april' anniversary

the years

love is your smile, when you say
"you are funny"
love is wolf walking
on a day, cold, yet sunny
love is the warmth
of your arms when it's icy
love is the sharing of things
cheap and pricey
love is in working
and time spent in leisure
love is in boredom
as well as in pleasure
love is the carrot wine
we made in the fall
love is the sound of your voice
when you call
love is in laughter
in anger and tears
love is triumphant
in conquering fears
love is the gift
of two beings united
love is the burning
of passion ignited
love is the feeling
i hold in my heart
the missing and longing
when we are apart
i love you today
i will love you forever
may life grant us the years
to grow old together
