Neglected Love Letter

February 13, 2012

Dearest Early Bird,

A year with you is complete.
I cannot say it wasn’t hard –
you know it was.
Every day a push and pull,
deciding where I could
stand, arguing where you could sit. 
I cannot lie – many days
out of our 12 months there sat
an agonizing weight upon my heart, 
a rage of worries battling
against our growing relationship,
trying to knock down the castle
we were building up for ourselves.
While I am still a girl,
you treat me like a princess,
and I hope I’ve been fair enough
to call you my prince.
I know our love is like no fairytale.
Fairytales are few and only far between,
meant for silly dreamers like me.
But I can only hope that after
two years, or three,
we can agree to keep one another
in a united life of laughs, leaky faucets,
and late night kisses, filling picture frames
with our captured hearts
and silly souls.
So here’s to one more year
and many more. 
May God ever be with us, in us,
and alongside us.

With Love,
Night Owl
