Sacred Love

It started with a look.
Then a conversation.
Then a touch.
Exciting and electric.

Two people
with individual dreams,
their own goals
choosing each other.

Passion played out.
Struggles developed,
especially for power.
Tug of war ensued.

We learned to fight.
We learned to make up.
We learned to share.

We faced
tough moments.
We celebrated
good ones.

This journey,
these milestones,
presented opportunity.

Will we grow together
or apart?

Will we close down
or open up?

Will we go alone
or come back together?

We tried.
We learned.
I surrendered.
You dropped the rope.

We realized
there is no winner,
but there is another way.

Slowly sharing
what was deep inside:
dreams, fears,
frustrations, desires.

We were scared,
we did it anyway.

That changed everything.

You know me.
All of me.
Thank you
for continuing
to choose me.

I know you.
All of you.
Thank you
for letting
me love you.
