Love Poem: Markers

Markers

You preferred the milestones of life
House, kids, somebodies wife
I preferred the simpleness of our mile markers

pitter-patter of running feet
1 mile 
then the beep

sweaty brow
Bright clear eyes
tip toes 
as you come in to celebrate
with a kiss
running with you is pure bliss

i preferred to celebrate
each mile with you
my love for you 
was simple and pure
I wish the immensity of it you knew.
