I was just watching you sleep and thinking about how much we've changed since the beginning. We aren't that couple in the photo on the shelf anymore; we're so much more. We're paid bills, hard choices, and that exhaustion that heals just by touching feet on the couch. The love I feel for you today is less anxious and so much deeper, because now I know every piece of your soul and, even so, I keep choosing to stay.
