retrospect

I recollect:
Your rhythmic breathing close to me...
resembling a wordless lullaby, lulling me into slumber

I reminisce:
The glee in your eyes...
such child-like anticipation...
There! You've spotted the Ben & Jerry's stand

I enshrine:
Those words from other end of the phone line...
Telling me to dry my eyes, the world is not the end with you by my side

I envision:
Endless list of ridiculous names
Jude, Jordice, Jordan Jr... and many many more

I hold dear:
The hope, the promise, the adoration,
the faith, the friendship, the trust, the passion,
the tenderness, the moment, the emotion,
But most of all,
Your hand on mine through every season
