Monument

...and a sonnet for Katie.  There was so much I had to leave out of this one...

Do you recall the day when there were two?
I know it's rather easy to forget
the day when there was Me and there was You,
instead of Us, the day before we met?
It's shadowed, for the memories are bright:
in each, we find a unifying theme,
I join a shining sun within her light,
you join a dreamer deep within a dream.
   The day you spoke the love you hold for me!
   You hugged me, like a jet plane when it lands!
   The evening when we kissed beneath the tree;
   The nights of candlelight and gentle hands;
and millions more to come, repeating thus:
each moment makes of you and me an Us.
