Today.
Today was a good day.
We awoke.
You made breakfast.
I had coffee.
I like that grinder you use.
Today...10 years later...
We still love each other.

Today...
We spoke of family
of familar times
of shared laughs
of continued disagreements.

Today...
We spoke of being closer
of the two moonlit turtles we remembered by the pond
of impossible possibilities
of missed opportunities.

Today...
We spoke of 10 years together
of day one
of that last time
of the first time.

Today...
We spoke of world travels
of trips abroad
of city life versus country comfort
of sharing new walls.

Today...
We spoke of romantic memories
of unspoken fantasies
of broken hopes and dreams.
of undying love.

Today...
We spoke of shared tears
of next ten year fears
of what happens now.

Today...
We spoke of the past 10 years
Together
Apart.

Today...
We spoke on the phone
We, together
Each one alone
Of the last 10 years
Of reinvented love
For 1 hour, 38 minutes.

Today...
We awoke
And we spoke.
And my soul was nearly satisfied.
