It's a New Decade

Somewhere between the 'submit' button and watching the birds on a beach in Hyannis and the snow on the mainland I fell in love with you.

We drove to a beach while the GPS talked to us in French and watched a man in camouflage throw bread to the gulls and the ducks while his Siamese cat watched from in his van. Other cars came out too, there were three other cars and us, but he was the only one to get out and smell the air.

Then you held my hand for one hundred miles while we drove through the rain and then the snow and at some point the sun came out. You told me about those days that you were afraid you'd fallen in love with me and I told you of those same days, and we welcomed in the New Year with shitty takeout and a wealth of emotion...
