Happy 10th Anniversary

I see her smile across the room to something you said
And think what a lovely couple you both make

She leans a little close, touches your sleeves
And whispers words which make you laugh like never before

Havent seen you laugh like that in years
Curt words, cold stares and endless silences were you

Your eyes glow with warmth as they linger on her face
She too seems to reciprocate that warmth in her eyes

Rooms filled with our friends and family
But lost are you two in a world of your own

A glass of chilled champagne
Dangles ignored between my careless fingers

Decision made I slowly make my way to you
Unnoticed slip my wedding ring in your pocket

Collect my coat from the hotel lobby
Request for a cab for that last one trip home

Memories of all the years we spent together
Comes crashing down on me, rendering me almost helpless

You shut me out years ago or now that I think
Did you ever even let me into your heart?

With bags all packed and ready at the door
I find myself reluctant to leave this cold, cold house that was home

With intentions just to lay my head for just a while
I curl up with your pillow on our bed

Feel warm and secure after such a long time
Dont want to open my eyes to the wintry future that awaits me

Opening them I find myself in your arms
My ring back on my finger, confusing me with my realities

Your eyes open and you whisper
Happy 10th Anniversary, Love!
