True Love

It found us
   at different times
      in our lives
   and has caused us
      to soar on high
   and crash very low.

It faded in and out
   as we got on
      with the business of life,
   but the flames
      never died out completely,
   alternating between
      bright and dim.

We each were given another
   to love, cherish
      and share this life with,
   but we never forgot
      that our journey to love
         and be loved
   started out with each other.

We are now
   one alone and
      one unhappy,
   going through each day
      the best we can,
   holding up one another
      when life tries to beat us down.

This summer of 2010
   we’ve come full circle,
      the love we began with long ago,
      the love that was silent for a time,
      the love we’ve harbored
         for each other in secret,
   is now the truest love
      in our lives,
         and lives in the deepest part
      of our souls.
