True Love
It found us
at different times
in our lives
and has caused us
to soar on high
and crash very low.
It faded in and out
as we got on
with the business of life,
but the flames
never died out completely,
alternating between
bright and dim.
We each were given another
to love, cherish
and share this life with,
but we never forgot
that our journey to love
and be loved
started out with each other.
We are now
one alone and
one unhappy,
going through each day
the best we can,
holding up one another
when life tries to beat us down.
This summer of 2010
we’ve come full circle,
the love we began with long ago,
the love that was silent for a time,
the love we’ve harbored
for each other in secret,
is now the truest love
in our lives,
and lives in the deepest part
of our souls.
