Another year with you. No notes.

You, me and a lifetime of leftovers. Happy anniversary.

I married up. Happy anniversary.

Happy anniversary to my husband, who has never once found the thing in the fridge that's right in front of him.

Thanks for killing every spider in this house. That's the real vow.

The time zones can have today. I get the rest of our years.

I wore your shirt today. It's the next best thing, and it smells less like you than I'd like.

Apart this year, and my phone is full of things I saved to tell you.

Save me the real kiss. I'll take a bad video call for now.
