Nine Years

Us, 2008.

I look at the picture over our mantle - black and white, wedding finery, a bouquet of flowers and two very young faces.

Our smiles are still the same, though.

Happy Anniversary, Boy. You always said life with me would be an adventure, and I simply say it's been an adventure I'd never want to share with anyone else.

You could hide beside me maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name
I won't tell 'em your name - Name, Goo Goo Dolls
