Love Poem: Independent Surrender

Independent Surrender

Hard earned independence was my proclamation,
with pride for years since we met.
Our friendship is truly inspiring and trusting,
took a new course without one regret.

Long crossed are separate horizons, 
now fading we formerly knew.
We sense ahead a vision unable to see, 
but faithfully know it is true.

Our facts kept privately hidden, 
now revealed to one another.
Grown is pristine understanding,
In trust as one brother to the other.

I recognize your love as perfect and honest,  
As I honestly love you perfectly back.
Our truths are seamlessly eye to eye,
Shared words we'll never retract.

Love transported us to this glorious space,
It is kind, natural and ever filled with grace.
I needed you not, in my new independence,
And much to my former unwilling surprise, 
I've tried hard to resist, 
but now must insist, 
I find...
I need...
you now.
