happy anniversary?
there’s no power in the date
it’s just a number
but
so are 3, 4 and 5
and those mattered a bit
it’s been a year
how are we supposed to feel?
what are we supposed to do?
celebrate
remember
try and forget
she said, he barely remembers our anniversary! why the hell would we celebrate this?
what’s the appropriate gift after a year?
paper?
that would be nice
still waiting on that check
forgive me if I don’t eat the top tier
never agreed to this relationship
after one full rotation
They’re finally home
They couldn’t stay
so, what will You do?
she’ll paint her new walls
he’ll share that new song
she’ll light a candle to remember her mom
he’ll hold his babies close because he can
they’ll share a meal and look at the stars
think I’ll let my grass grow and go to the sea
it’s okay to mourn
or praise
or go about a normal day
because you almost can
the survivor’s rule book blew away
there was no wrong way to start
there’s no right way to remember
no way to forget
You’re here
I’m here
See me
I’ll listen
And we will travel this uneven road
Together
