It was on our third anniversary
Together
As a couple
That we started my
Favorite tradition.
That was the first time
We rented out a nearby cabin
To ourselves.
That first time, it was just
One day
But in these years after
We've begun the habit of staying there
For a week or two.
I've always
Looked forward to that week
Of pure, undisturbed love
Whenever it seems like work
Will never end.
It helps me get through the day
Long enough
To come home to your kisses.
