something to behold.
that's what she said when we were falling in love.
something to behold.
that's what i think every morning i wake up to remember she's really mine.

bigger than the monster?
we hope so, she said today.
bigger than the monster?
immeasurably bigger, i firmly believe.

today my grandmother told me about her sister and her husband who just celebrated their 69th wedding anniversary. i can't imagine the monsters they slayed and the monsters they outran. i wonder what their secret weapon has been.

i suspect it's something to behold.

d: a monster slaying weapon.
b: i have the inside scoop on what it is.
g: something worth fighting for.
