1st Year Anniversary Poems Novels & Stories

The first frost of the season kissed the garden overnight, leaving a delicate silver sheen on the grass and the lower leaves of the oak tree. Anya stood on the terrace in a thick cardigan, steaming coffee in her hands, watching the early light turn the frost into tiny sparkling diamonds. Twenty years and two months. The number still felt surreal.

In the end, I chuckled bitterly, "It's all your fault, Angel. Sitting down here like a jobless person and waiting for that fool, what were you expecting?" My stomach grumbled as I felt very hungry, I had not eaten much throughout the day, because I was hoping that Finn and I would dig into the cake together. I mean, we'd been married for one year and it was our first anniversary. "Well, it's his loss," I said, as I began to dig into the cake. After eating for a while, I drank some wine and said, "Happy first anniversary." Afterward, I got up and went into my room. I was unable to get any sleep, mostly because, I had just eaten. So I spent time playing with my phone.

"Happy First Wedding Anniversary! I can’t believe it has already been one year since we got married. The memories of our first meeting are still fresh in my memory! God! How beautiful you looked! I could smell your perfume, and it drove me crazy. It was love at first sight, and I couldn’t take my eyes off you. Baby, that day, I made a promise that I would do whatever it takes to keep you happy. Getting to see your face the first thing in the morning every day is the most amazing thing in my life, and this one year together has been like a dream. Let us create some more beautiful memories. Love you! You have added immense joy, bliss, and happiness to my life. I discovered what true love is in

*Ajay Mehra Pov* “Happy second anniversary.” I whispered in her ear and kissed her cheek. She immediately opened her eyes and asked, “What?” “Today is our second-year anniversary.” I replied. “Oh!” She mumbled and added, “I don’t remember at all but how can you remember it. You forgot the first time right?” “I didn’t! I just acted as I forgot, but I didn’t forget it at all.” I replied and turned around to face me within a second.

But you just made this worse for both of us. Wait and see. Happy New Year. Make it count. You have ten years, five months, twelve days. I'm counting every single one.

I'm in the rain that falls every year on our anniversary. I'm in you. You carried me all these years. Now let me carry you. Live. Love. Laugh with the children. Tell our stories. Hold the great-grandchildren. Plant more jasmine. Keep writing. Keep breathing. And when your time comes—many, many years from now—I will be waiting. I'll be the rain that greets you. I'll be the hand that takes yours. I'll be the voice that says, “I choose you. Always.” Until then, my love.

Music begins to float in, and everyone starts to congratulate me. How could I have forgotten today was my company's fourth anniversary? Richard remembered and organized this. No one at work reminded me, even though we always make sure to celebrate a little at the end of the day with a few drinks and food. Last year, we went out to a fancy dinner to celebrate. The first year, it was just a few of us. None of them have been to my house. “I am super proud of you, Arabel. I love you.” Mother tells me with a wide smile on her face, and I rush into her arms.

My arms tightened around her waist more, pulling her flush against my chest until there was no space left between us. For ten years, this day has been my undoing. A day that was supposed to be a celebration of birth, ten years ago, turned into a day of ash and silence—my mom's death. Every year on this date, I shatter. I come here to let the pieces fall where they may, away from the world, away from the life I’ve built. And every anniversary has always been the same; I came here to sit in the wreckage alone. Until tonight. *

BEAM'S P. O. V "Happy anniversary!" A very confused Forth walked in, exchanged his shoes for indoor flats and stared dumbly at Beam. It was yet to ring a bell. "It is our first fuckerversary. We were not together so for the years this date passed, I just let it slide but now look. Cake!"

Now, I’ve been to countless events and weddings there, watched the sun set and rise through the same ceiling height windows, the same creamy golden walls, a thousand times. Some would say, after being together as long as we have, that the memory of that first meeting should feel like a lifetime ago. In reality, it was. We’re so old now. But I dream about it every night, the same memories of our youth, that tumultuous first year. Her in the gown at Isaac’s twenty-first birthday. Her in the pouring rain at that dilapidated cottage in the middle of nowhere after I finally caught up to her in the Roguelands. Her in only moonlight, my face buried between her legs, my teeth breaking the skin of he
