Some easy tests

Start with this one:
When she’s there, do you feel well?
But when she’s absent you feel unwell?
Not ill exactly, but washed with anxiety?
I do.

Are you on the same wavelength
When you do the crossword
In the paper, getting tricky clues
At precisely the same instant,  
Mental vibes built up over years?
You can sense the moment coming.
I do.

And if you happen to pass 
In the kitchen do you pause
And, without a word give
Her a little nuzzle between
The shoulder blades,
An impulse of a moment, 
Inconsequential, yet celebrating 
Togetherness of a lifetime?
I do.

Then there are those evenings
By the fire that would be infinitely 
Boring if she was not there
Reading in the other chair.
Do you enjoy things differently
When you’re together?
I do.

If you have to get out in the night, 
Do you wait for her hand 
To welcome when you get back in
So you to can get to sleep again
Without the tossing and turning
That happens when you’re alone?
I do.

There are many more similar
But if you’ve passed the ones so far
Try this for bonus points: 
When you see some glamour girl 
On television or perhaps a movie star
And you look away towards
The one you married sixty years before,
Do you sigh that she’s gone grey
Or do you say, ‘When you were twenty
You were more beautiful than any 
And you still are, what’s more!’
I do.
