Sharing
we have shared many things
love is ultimately what I believe passes most between us
but we also have shared
moments of anger, dislike and mistrust
times of joy, passion and admiration
long nights and days
of both clarity, toxicity and
everything in between
we have disclosed
intense fears, desires, hopes and
even our whims and daydreams
we have matched
intellect and humor
even vanity and conceit
we have exposed
shame and success
pride and humiliation
cultivated talent and offered criticism
and have imparted both
promises and disappointments
our tender kisses have been intermingled
with vicious blows, both intermittent
we have in common our darkest secrets
we have only told each other
we have given each other solace and pain
and although we have both shed tears
our share of laughter has always been more abundant
we share
a home, a bed, a life
which has taken many forms
in the years we have been together
and we now create our family each day
with the child we share
this is far greater than any of these other things
and I now share with you
my deepest gratitude
for all we have
in equal measure
