i burned all the letters i wrote to You
the ones that i tried so hard to make perfect
thinking i could manipulate You into loving me
instead i got drunk while missing You
and like a fool began banging on Your door and screaming out Your name
driven by the depth of agony in my heart
at the thought of living another moment
without You

i was trying to think of what i wanted to say to you
after 10 years
and i thought about all the romantic songs and passionate poems
the documentation of love in human history
and i realized that none have ever spoken to me about you
in all the records of man
i have yet to find an expression of loving a woman the way i love you
because you are written into me
and i into you
in a way that earthly words seem unable to reveal
even these
God wrote us before the world was
and every day we discover together
the story of God
just yesterday
as i watched you play with our son in your arms
i thought to myself
– in a scene that was waiting aeons to be discovered –
no man has ever been blessed
the way i have been blessed
with you
i love you Sumaiya
happy 10th anniversary
