In the honeymoon phase<\/p>\n
I could find a hundred and two ways<\/p>\n
to say I love you<\/p>\n
and what I loved about you.<\/p>\n
Your laugh<\/p>\n
Your smile<\/p>\n
Your long eyelashes<\/p>\n
Late night back rubs<\/p>\n
Early morning cuddles.<\/p>\n
And somewhere along the way<\/p>\n
Life butt her way and<\/p>\n
Then came<\/p>\n
Long hours<\/p>\n
Short weekends<\/p>\n
No more date nights<\/p>\n
Up all night with the baby<\/p>\n
Washing endless loads of clothes<\/p>\n
Play dates<\/p>\n
The 1st day of school<\/p>\n
Dance recitals<\/p>\n
Forgotten errands<\/p>\n
Midlife crisis<\/p>\n
Menopause….<\/p>\n
And I don’t even know<\/p>\n
Why<\/p>\n
I love you anymore<\/p>\n
But I know<\/p>\n
That I love you.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
