typing the date: 6-29
I remember
do you know that I
still have the chopstick wrapper
from that sushi dinner
the day you told me you love me
the first time
ten years ago, now
you know it took you
nearly a year to say it
the first time

I love it that
you used that date
for your email address
I wonder what would happen
if I sent you an email
to that address right now
would anyone get it
or is it already turned off
I’m going to send you an email right now
and send it just because I can
I might even send you this poem

I ordered sushi tonight
from our favorite place
to celebrate
it won’t be the same
but it’ll be something
