My life with you has been beyond beyond

And there’s nothing beyond it I’m seeking

As an anniversary present? To write in his card? Or was it meant to be for Addison? Oh, please, he thought. It was a love poem, a beautiful sentiment, it was them. Their life together, short as it was, had been “beyond beyond.” There was nothing beyond it Addison was seeking.
