Lonely Hearts
For too many years
feeling more like decades,
we've waited painfully
and wanted dearly
someone to have and hold,
someone to remove the loneliness
so long in our hearts.
It's taken us
a great deal of time
but what we've needed to happen has,
for even as we touch
we know our love was meant to be
and our lonely hearts
can finally rest and heal
from so many past ordeals.
Our lives
take on a new direction now -
a single direction, not two
as we just begin to learn about
and to love each other -
each day,
every day,
from this moment
until forever.
For Yasmin 7/88
