An Anniversary

Three years to the day of being mugged and beaten.
How do you stay on your feet when on every street it's trick or treat, and tonight it's trick?
Three years to the day of Angel finding him.
You okay, honey?
The year he'd spent outside of the bar, without him, barely registers in his mind.
I can't believe he's gone....
Instead, he listens to him breathe, sleeping peacefully against him, and raises his hand to his lips.
I do not deserve you, Angel....
"Still awake?" Angel whispers, moving against him.
Live in my house. I'll be your shelter.
"Yeah. Didn't mean to wake you up."
Just pay me back with one thousand kisses...
He feels him smile against his throat. "Did you hear me complaining?"
A new lease you are my love on life....
"Now that you mention it...no. I didn't."
With a thousand sweet kisses I'll cover you...
"And I won't."
