after divorce
an anniversary is just a date
but not a date
it is old memories
and old wounds
it is loss and grief
it is hope gone
and yet it passes
the date becomes
just a date
another day
another step
onward in the future

It still signifies the dream and comments once made. I empathise with you Jason.
