Being Two

As two we offer much, share much, many moments, trade, barter Known and open, or unseen just there, we give and take We talk and listen, speak, debate, argue and fight for our corners And as two we accept, learn support and offer succour Being one this cant be done, often easier no need to consider We have no need to console, understand, tolerate So safe and easy, there is no risk in this, no exposure of heart or soul And often we choose this, a place to hide, retreat I have been one, it served me well, in fact full of mirrors Time to reflect, who I am, day by day to learn my self It was a long lesson I did not expect, only realised at the end When on a day not so long ago, I became one of two again And so as two, we learnt much more, both in life were for time alone Joined as now we find we fit, mind, body, heart and souls Both different yet often the same, from other pasts yet now a future I have to say it is remarkable being two, with you.
