A year is the barest whisper of eternity,
and I know that's how long you will stay with me.
So I've penned these few words on this special day
for a chance to express the things I rarely say.
It's been three hundred sixty-five days since I became whole,
fifty-two weeks since I realised I had a soul.
Twelve months of letting my broken heart heal,
a year of convincing myself that this is real.
Hundreds of wonderful nights spent together,
and they stretch out before us into forever.
Countless hugs and kisses, endless tumbing into bed,
and I still remember every "I love you" you've ever said.
You're my true love, my soulmate, and you have my heart,
there's no force on Earth that could tear us apart.
So I'm writing this poem just to make sure you knew...
our love is forever; that fact remains true.
and I know that's how long you will stay with me.
