27 times around the sun

since that July Hawaiian night

when we met at the Ilikai,

took a taxi to The Library,

and had our first drinks

- and our first kiss - of that evening

(how were we to know our first date

was to last three days?)

Now, if I were a rational romantic,

I might note we've since gone

15,846,840,000 miles together

on our trip around our little star.

But, the most rational I've been

in all that time

- and in all those miles -

was marrying you.
