Nineteen years now we have been together. It's been a long apprenticeship in love. Need endures, regardless of the weather, Ever one thing we are certain of. Time turns into space, as though the years Evolved into a country all our own, East of troubles, faults, frustrations, fears -- Neighbors we must face, but not alone. Yearning is a kind of innocence, Even as the world gives up its glow. All the wisdom of experience Refrains from censuring this common sense, So beautiful one cannot let it go.
