your commute,
the weather change—again,
the cold you are fighting,
the proximity of your birthday,
stress from our kids
—not to mention yours at school,
lesson plans, progress reports—
any of these could make
you feel old.
and I know you do
even when you don’t
say it
I know what I see,
even though I fail to say it,
when you walk through our door
carrying your backpack
wearing your school uniform—
in those moments you are 14
just in from school
changing quickly to
be with me
just as captivating
just as exciting
as then
and I, suddenly 16
just crave attention
from you
I know what I feel
even when I fail to explain it
when you crawl, or fall into our bed
carrying the day’s worries
wearing your favorite PJs
just hoping to sleep
changing gears to
be with me
just as enticing
just as soothing
as always
and I, suddenly eternal
just crave more time

I just adore this Lost, such a simply beautiful description of the stresses and strains of life on a relationship, and yet your love shines through the words like sunshine on a cloudy day.
