The year I fell in love with you
I was twenty-three, and you were twenty-seven.
I had never experienced your youth, while you were already at the age when women are expected to marry, with your thirtieth birthday looming, a milestone the whole world knew about.
But I never weighed the pros and cons when it came to you.
I wanted nothing but you.
Even when my career was rising and your star was fading,
I still wanted to be with you.
Those words aren't precious,
but I give them to you.
