To Put Into Words Two Years Later

Perhaps the most impossible task in this lifetime can be summing up the love you feel for another person into words so, today, on our second wedding anniversary I found it necessary to steal from some of my favorite love songs to verbalize how deeply, intensely, and truly I love my husband Adam.

To borrow from Paul: Who knows how long I've loved you? You know I love you still.

To reference David: Out of all those kinds of people, you've got a face with a view.

To co-opt Diana: Whenever you're near I hear a symphony play sweet and tenderly.

To recite Spiral Staircase: I love you more today than yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow.

To quote Janet: Love will never do without you.

To echo The Beach Boys: God only knows what I'd be without you.

To affirm Michael: For you alone, you are the everything.

I love you, Adam, and hope we have at least 98 more years together. Maybe by then I'll be able to express just how much you mean to me.
