a decade, woo!

Today is the 10 year anniversary of my first date with Denis. :)

One of the first gifts I gave Denis was a book of Robert Frost poetry. I didn't date it (because I was young and foolish), but I know I gave it to him within the first three or four months of our relationship. I remember that we used to read poems to each other when we lived together for the first time in this horrible apartment above the hardware store the summer after freshman year.

The inscription reads:
"to Denis,
my love, thank you for all the kind words, soft kisses, strong hugs, smiles, backrubs, laughter, and sweet deeds that will keep you forever in my heart
Amelia"

Ten years later it all still applies.
Even despite Denis's favorite poem from that book, Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
