To Love With Love

for the comfort
during times of
uncertainty and
great pain 
I thank you for
being present 
even when I 
didn't notice you
and when I turned
on myself and
you seeming so
untrue...but you
held me up like
a celebratory cup
full of stars and
hope catching
my tears when 
they fall and that's
not all...you are
warm, sincere,
and the best friend
I've ever had...
and yes, there
have been times
when you've made
me mad 'cause
I couldn't find you
at times...were you
hiding behind a 
tree counting to
a  hudred and three
expecting me to
seek and find...
maybe that was 
the plan...and now
I think I understand
all that was hidden
in me connected us
and love, remember
those times when
I felt disconnected
like my like the
best in me and
for me would 
never be...I 
thought it was
all a fantasy...
and you know
I still struggle
but the laughter
has outweighed
all of it...with you
I don't feel so alone
or lonely at home...
love, there's so
much more I 
could say...but 
for now, i'll say
thank you...
