Tonight's post is dedicated to all the couples who don't just love each other but are still in love. I gotta admit, I am totally and completely sprung on my husband. So I guess this one is for us too...
Love in Place
By Nikki Giovanni
I really don't remember falling in love all that much
I remember wanting to bake corn bread and boil a ham and I
certainly remember making lemon pie and when I used to smoke I
stopped in the middle of my day to contemplate
I know I must have fallen in love once because I quit biting
my cuticles and my hair is gray and that must indicate
something and I all of the sudden had a deeper appreciation
for Billie Holiday and Billy Strayhorn so if it wasn't love I don't
know what it was
I see the old photographs and I am smiling and I'm quite
happy but what I mostly see is me
through your eyes
and I am still young and slim and very much committed to the
love we still have
