A picture of a picture of us, not long after Dwayne and I first met.

It was around this time in the summer of 2000 that I met my husband. He had just transferred to the college I was attending, we were both taking summer classes and we had some friends in common, so we all sat down to the same lunch table. In less than ten minutes time, talking to him and hearing him speak to the other people at the table, I knew he was my soul mate.

My love has long been yours
since on that day
when we first met-
I will never quite forget
how you just paused
and smiled a bit-
and calmly helped yourself to it.
