It's the little things....

Today can go as any other day
Pass it on the calendar like yesterday
but inside as the minutes pass
my smile glows bigger
my feet sink to the earth as an oak
the world can pass and not know what we whisper
in the middle of the staying
I promise they do not know
shhhh....
you say
that's just the sound of the page turning
the sound of your "I love you"
crushing my soul and claiming victory atop my ashes
and I can die for 1000 hours but I have never felt more alive
so this is a whisper
a thank you
an anniversary
a victory
shhhh....
a whisper I will never mention again
until next year.....
