🌹 Short romantic anniversary poems (3–4 lines)

Another year of me and you,
Of all the hard and all the true,
Happy anniversary, my heart,
There’s no one else I’d choose to start.

We’ve laughed and cried and grown through years,
Shared our hopes and faced our fears,
Happy anniversary, my friend,
With you, I’d do it all again.

You’re not just love, you’re home to me,
My safest place, my favourite “we”,
Happy anniversary, my dear,
I’m still so glad that you are here.

Through busy days and quiet nights,
Through wrong turns and through making it right,
Happy anniversary, my light,
With you, the dark feels less like night.

Another year to hold your hand,
To face what comes, to try, to stand,
Happy anniversary, it’s true,
My very best years are with you.
