Marriage

We looked at the stars,
Every night before we spread,
Our printed coir mats,
under the fan
We gasped together,
At the AC bills as we spread,
ourselves on the Royal Divan
We have all this while,
Shared school and medical reports
Holidays, Long workdays,
Two cars one minivan
Pain, Laughter, Tears,
Smiles, Hopes, Fears,
Being around for each other
As only we can
