Poem for our kissiversary

Today is the 10 year anniversary of our first kiss.  Yes, on April Fool's Day.  No joke.  I wrote a poem for Garvin to commemorate the occasion, this is the rough draft of it.

The Sour and Sweet

Years will come and go
As do acquaintances, we know,
Friendly faces flicker and glow
   As memories are made, sour and sweet.

Starting out with film rolls
Later we switched to digital
Different ways to catch a soul
   And hold our moments, sour and sweet.

Days fly by and never wait
Always on the go, usually late,
But to stop, breathe, and celebrate
   Makes the sour days somehow more sweet.

The days cycle on, warm and cold,
Children mature and constantly grow
You and I will become grey and old
   Warmed by these times, sour and sweet.

So though chocolates may be traditional
Like flowers, they are too ephemeral
So I offer instead this sentimental
   Tribute to our real treasures, equally sour and sweet.
