Love

Love

We were what each other needed at the time

And time could not hold us within its grasp

Because you wanted to leave

And that’s how two stories

Now one-conceived

Love is a commitment

And more care

Must be breathed in,

Like our air 

It is effort

It is fights

Some that last longer

Than the nights

But if you choose to continue 

And stay...

Our relationship will last longer

Than nights lived in dismay

Because love is comfort

It is faith

It is the very thing

That holds us in place

But I'm shifting-

I'm unsteady

It's something

For which neither life

Or you

Could make me ready.
