When I am expecting nothing
Everything becomes expected
He was not expected
Now he is everything
We fit perfectly
Just like a new pair of jeans
Snug and very tight
Not worn out and faded.
What a surprise
The greatest one ever
Like that cherry red car on your 16th birthday,
The puppy with the red ribbon on his head,
but
He was the best thing I ever unwrapped
I worry about the surprises of the future
Hoping no more to come
I pray he feels like I do
Ready to share our feelings;
Love, dedication, loyalty
I dread the day he says surprise, surprise.
