A Lifeline of Love
He came to me -
Imperfect –
As was I -
Drawn to each other
By chemistry,
By electricity, not by love.
But a bond wove itself
Between us as we talked.
And we listened.
We learned each other,
And we began
To braid together a lifetime.
But selfishness, fear,
Stubbornness came.
The line began to fray.
Fibers loosened,
Moved out from the center,
Finally we talked,
And we really listened,
We took in love,
And we gave back love.
We learned each other
All over again.
Together we pulled the
Loose threads back
And wove them tighter.
Now he comes to me -
Imperfect –
As am I.
And that’s all right.
