I Love You in the Rain and Wind

If we stay on course, dear Asha, we’ll foster a love that can stand up to the tests that will come our way.

The executive decision that I make daily to love you frees me from worry because I don’t have to think about it, it just is.

Don’t cut this cord, my love, and don’t read into it more than you should lest we have to say farewell.

The rain is coming down in a sheet and you can barely hear the organ playing from the floor below.

You love the mirror — putting on your foundation and everything slippery on that beautiful nose.

The dividend that is the highest reward is just looking at how you look, how you knit beauty into the folklore that surrounds you.

Don’t call me a mastermind, but I would call our relationship functional, which is sometimes good enough.

If I struggle with identification and forget who we really are, I just have to remember that we consider ourselves to be a standard but talented couple.

If I decide to break the chain and devolve into a state of unrest, it would be a short trip because I’m already as discontented as the architect who sees their dream crash.
