Anniversary

Love knows.

Doubters, contrarians, cynics
Feigned concern
Claimed the right to say:
"You're too young."
"It will never last."
"You don't know what you're doing."
"You can still change your mind."

In the end only what we said mattered:
"I love you."
"I will."

Their words were penciled on the wind.
Ours, ours were etched on our souls.
