a gentle breeze ruffles my hair
bringing me back to reality
a rueful smile adorns my lips
as my eyes reveal the calm within

i allow the memories to drift back
as i travel back in time
to the first day we met
the firm shake and twinkling eye.

we walked matching steps
finishing sentences and
reading each others mind
and forging a bond,forever.

it has been years since the day
we have braved all odds
and conquered our fears,
and we are together still.
