The time was getting closer to the big day – the SUNDAY of the first anniversary – and so was the question: what exactly is going on? How come a whole year is already past? What’s coming next?

 

A whole long list of questions poured into my head, but they all melted away the evening of the first anniversary with a bouquet of favorite flowers over candle lights and a “Happy Anniversary Honey” that left me floating thousand meters above earth in joy. My pen gave up yesterday while trying to put in words how that first year has felt … and somehow it’s only a timid Thank You that I try but fail to offer to the man who changed my life so much… and I fail because there’s really no Thank You …

 

There’s no Thank You because you’re no longer another YOU … we’re now a one YOU together … and it’s difficult to thank oneself …

 

There’s no Thank You because words are far too small to express true gratitude … it can only be felt not heard …

 

There’s no Thank You because there’s more to come that is even grander and better than all that’s past … and for that a different kind of Thank You is needed …

 

There’s no Thank You because suddenly when I try to speak out the “for” part it all melts away and is replaced by a warm smile that tries to tell everything … not always as eloquent as I would have liked it to be…

 

There’s no Thank You because it’s really the YOU part that matters much more than the thanks …

 

So on our first anniversary, honey, there’s no “Thanks”, but there’s “YOU” and for that I’m eternally grateful …

 

A toast for the happiest year of my life so far … and for many happier returns … Ame
