How wonderful. Congratulations. In a world where relationships last such a short time, 19 years is a significant amount of time. What I love about long-standing relationships is the knowing and the re-knowing. As Cadenas put it: "Today, from seeing you so much, I truly saw you." It is that quality you captured so perfectly in your poem: an accumulation of moments—both ordinary and extraordinary—that make you a part of the other person's life story. A big hug, my friend.
