"Sight Reading"

It's been so strange and wonderful

to love you for a year,

and stranger yet to realize

that this year is but a single measure

of the song we have in store.

Where will it lead

and how well will we sing it?

What shall be its strongest note

and where shall fall its softest?

Will we dance to its rhythms

and lend meaning to its text?

I don't know the answers, love.

All I know is that

it's a beautiful duet that we are singing

and the first measure has me hooked.
