dinner and a movie tonight

fall. 1986.
following a summer
of dating
guys who didn't come to the door
to speak to my parents
didn't take me home
to meet theirs
i literally made a list
of guys
i thought i might
like better
one, chris,
played football
didn't party
was definitely cute
his locker was on the first floor
near the library
i stopped to talk to him
one day on my way to
junior english
that sealed it
but we had no idea
i don't even remember the
conversation
but i know for a fact
that god put me there
that god put him there
that god has brought us
through fire,
refined
and will again and again
spring. 2010.
eighteen years of marriage
gosh
