2040. For the One

This is for the husband
I thought I had
The one, who loved me,
Glad to see me
Full of joy and affection

This is for the husband
I thought I married
The one, who kissed my hand,
Looked in my eyes and
Saw their hazel hew
Spiriting to me the thought
"I belong to you"

This is for the husband
I wish I had
The one imagined
Other than this man
Varnished with false hope
Born from my deepest lack
For consistency, loyalty, kindness
And passion

This is for the husband
Perhaps yet to be
Come fill my life
With playful fantasy
My promise to you:
Many years of wonder
And joyful imagination
