years have gone by
we grew up
at times we grow apart
we chose each other
despite our differences
we stayed together
claiming our success
admitting our defeat
renewing an oath
over and over again
was it chemistry?
King’s Island breeze
sheer terror of roller-coaster rides
the cold ice-cream of forgotten flavor
torn and faded blue jeans
with a mismatched top
was it bits of infatuation?
when we walked together
and the time froze
like short-lived winter frost
waffles in the morning
the almost empty dining hall
the noisiest place would be the laundry room
was it destiny?
the shine caught my eyes
a round diamond on the ring finger
mounted on a white gold band
when white wedding was all I asked
staying together ever since
when love is supposedly to steer
a bittersweet journey ahead
accepting flaws and forgiving one another
is everyday normalcy
