more love

more arguments happen

more frustrations, we know 

more things we just have to 

figure out as we go

less of that magic 

you feel at the start 

more time that it takes  

getting through the hard parts

things are much different 

and who can say why

maybe this is what love is

as the years all go by

more things you do for me

and the more that they mean 

more meaningful words 

that are more than they seem 

more awe as I watch you

dancing with our kids 

more gratitude for moments 

to be still like this 

more deep understanding 

of all that you do

more fully committed 

to a life lived with you 

less butterflies in stomachs 

but more mountains we’ve moved 

maybe that’s what it means 

to live in love with you
