Tom Pen Poet Free verse

Effortless

Surprised am I to realize,
in my life love 
never truly existed
with a one and only,
until the word, "try"
was replaced with, "you".

Navigating life together,
in unspoken understanding,
my dear predestined love, 
it is natural and effortless.

At long last, I sigh...
I am happy at last,
and the beauty of it is,
you are too,
ever as much as I.
