Often times I look at you and wonder how we’ve come fourteen years,
Two teens stumbling into life, sopping wet behind the ears,
Embarking on a world so exciting and new,
But somehow it all seemed lackluster if I didn’t have you.
I was a mere, fresh 17,
First time away from home, naive and green,
Looking for more out of life,
Than all the pains and struggles and strife.
You, on the other hand,
A boy turning into a man,
Superficial exterior coating so tough,
But underneath I knew you were more gentle than rough.
Each week, though, my friends tired,
Of hearing how we were “done”, you’d been “fired,”
Only to reconnect 24 hours later,
Damn, why was I such a jealous, immature “hater”? 🙂
It’s like we couldn’t stay away from each other,
Young and attracted to others, but clearly, there was no better lover.
It was you that I loved, your Glamour G,
Your “220,” yeah, that was me 😉
Over the years you’ve taught me so much,
Like true generosity, helpfulness, and such,
You’ve taught me how to be financially sound,
I finally listened when all you did was hound ;),
Now, here we are–fourteen years have passed,
Look at all we’ve amassed!
Two beautiful children! An indelible bond!
A connection that will never be broken, even when times aren’t fond.
For there are, and will be, times that are strained,
When tempers flare, and words are stained and pained,
But deep inside, we will know we’ve come far, and where we’ve been,
There will never be another like you, my very best friend.
I Love You
Mrs. Serena Appiah 🙂
