I have been in love before; After all at my age, who hasn’t? Some have entered like a storm, or had a particular appeal Still others ran their course, and that was the end of that I wasn’t prepared for the way my feelings for you Literally snuck up on me building an appreciable wall Of quiet understanding, loving kindness, Along with an unimaginably tangible attraction One I could not climb over nor dare hide behind An appreciation of all that found us here Entwined at this moment in our lives I leaned in closer to find you did not move In fact I was quite sure you did not want to Feet remaining planted, head feeling a little giddy You made room for me, all of me Our hearts pounding steady; stronger Than all that had come before Not in spite of our pasts, perhaps to spite the myth Of the one soul mate fairy tale I had long mourned Radiating a truth I had not previously known Except to appreciate my high value more than ever before And I am willing to pay the price of patience Meanwhile enjoying every moment Recognizing how intricately solid and precious you are Mindful I could make a life with you Consciously embracing simply the next moment Together; We are here Today Just L February 27, 2015 |
