Without You

I found a picture that ___ took of me on Valentine’s Day, long after dinner and margaritas and a cosmopolitan that I had wanted to drink because it was pink and the champagne truffles that we [I] ate in bed.  In the picture my back is turned and I’m smiling at ___ over my bare shoulder.  The back of my dress hangs slightly open at the top.  It’s my little black dress that I wear for all those big hopeful days.  It wasn’t until I found that picture that I realized that I have a different smile for ___than I do for anyone else.  ___ asked me how I could be so certain that I wanted to be with ___.  I told ___ that I wasn’t always, but one day I noticed the difference between ___ and me and all the other possibilities.
