I’m Realizing…

I stood in the golden sunset,
ocean water up to my knees.
The man I love most deeply
held his gaze on me longer than usual
as the words poured from my mouth.
I’m realizing…
I’m realizing….
And I’m realizing…
Am I speaking too much? Am I stealing the moment?
His eyes are alive again in my celebration.
I witness his patient faith and years come off his face as I dance in beauty.
