Before our day, an invisible pair
We were out there,
She and I, ghosts, existed separately
Before she challenged and claimed me,
Before I championed, raised the trophy and kissed her,
Tired of swallowing counterfeit, worthless whispers
Cannot fake suffering, so surrender
In the eleventh round, we threw in our towel's
Too cut, too blistered, we both limped and bowed out
Two hearts that needed stitches, from previous bouts
That was then
This is now
Patched up and breathing all on our own
Welcome, come in please, here sit down
I have been expecting you
Look my lady! I have a menu!
Let me serve you love and attention,
Please, never get full, feast on affection,
Let me take away your thirst, remove your hunger,
Sip and sample, it's all yours lover
That one, him. Me maybe? Her chosen companion
And you will never be losing, always gaining
Together prospering,
Give me your months, years and moons still remaining
Give me your coffee cup to fill, your dawns
Your good mornings and yawns
Five minutes, better than none
It won't take long,
Before you see with your heart and lashes
How maps and plans become actions
And those actions will ink our memories
Dated Journal entries
Cementing our history, my lady
There are sentences still to lay
One page at a time, our love story
Which will be coveted, spoken of and envied
