Two it is

Her engine ticks over after a energizing sprint

As our relationship enters the third year, I find myself terribly petrified. I have had a bad record with relationships in their third years. Not that I am setting us up for failure, but, I wanted to get that off my chest. The two years that I have spent so happily with you have made me realize that, I see myself in you. When I am with or without you… You too have a penchant for the color black and an affinity for the night. You too are better then average at most things. You also have distinct sense of being trust-able, loyal and well put. Despite the limited vocabulary, your communication is precise and direct. You take your job seriously and just like me, always aim to please the ones you’re with. Especially me! Yet, when I continue lying to myself, you stay true to your roots. Never suffer from delusions of grandeur and never over estimate your capabilities. Your squeals of delight and agony are well measured and perhaps even equal in intensity. If you are troubled, you let others know and unlike me, never have been in state of constant denial.

Crossing bridges

This is why I love you even more. You are my reality check. You are the soft shoulder on my commute back from work. You are my vent on a lonely weekend. And you are my only asset when others deem you to be certain liability. Scaling mountains (or hills)Thank you for the last two years. You have been exceptional. I only hope that I have been a fair lover too. Pushing you at certain times and waxing you at other ones. Where we go from here, I do not know. Will the excitement be the same? Will the returns of our love be equal? What becomes of measured lovers has sadly never been documented by the greater poets. I have been terrible at love letters and this is no exception. But on this day, when we turn two years old, know fully well, that I have always loved and cared for you honestly. Be it after a Friday evening commute or a spirited affair in the bends, you have always been my shelter from the storm. To you, to us, my love!
