Sundays are for music. #BettyeLavette

In the beginning we talked about a lot of music.  We still do.  He's one of my favorite people to do that with.  I remember learning we both were floored by this rendition of Chaka's song. If you don't know Bettye Lavette, start.

 

For two and one half years

he has listened to me

he has been with me

he has cooked with me

(or let me cook)

he has laughed with me

and traveled with me

(although he cannot read a map)

and we have sat in this space together

i don't remember much of past relationships

and maybe that is a fault of mine

he remembers so much more than I do

which is funny, because i pride myself on my long memory

at present we live together

and continue to listen

and laugh and cook and travel

and to grow

the future is what we deal in now

and there is no greater feeling

i learn every day that i have more capacity than i did yesterday

and maybe that's all i know of the past.
