Anniversary Sonnet

I want to see what the morning brings

to wake with you curled up on my shoulder or wonder why the bed is much colder

When the sun rises and the alarm rings

I want to dance with you in the moonlight I want to snuggle with you by the fire

I need to dispel all of those most dire

predictions and prove that they're not right. Those people who say that we can't really be in love the way that we say we are:

"It's nearly impossible. You don't know." I say they don't know - can't know how dearly I hold you in my heart, how much I care

how much I want to take that final vow.
