Staying Put
How lucky we are to have found each other
on this huge planet.
It’s not like we were supposed
to meet at a statue or there had been
any swiping left or right. No, we just danced
at a party, didn't even like each other that much,
so different we are. And yet.
Thirty-eight years later we still love
a car wash. I still make the banana bread
we had each morning on our honeymoon in Maui,
still have the index card with the recipe.
Is there a recipe for longevity?
This morning in the gray light of early morning,
you whispered, "Don't ever leave me."
