Black & White LOVE

 

Love is not perfect...
It is not a fairy tale 

Or a storybook
And it does not 

Always come easy.
Love is overcoming obstacles, 

Facing challenges
Fighting to be together, 

Holding on, and 

Never letting go.
It is a short word, 

Easy to spell,
Difficult to define, and 

Impossible to live without.

Love is work, 

But most of all, 

Love is realizing that 
Every hour, every minute, 

Every second of it
Was worth it because 

You did it together.  

As he stood behind her, 

Embracing her fears... 
All she felt was peace. 
She felt protected, 

Cherished, loved. 
He was barely touching 

Her physically 
But with his mind, 

He possessed her thoughts, 
Her aches, her desires... 
And she just felt free. 
She knew her soul 

Had finally come home 
And in this one 

Moment in time, 
Nothing else existed... 
Just two of them 

In a vacuum 
Of their own making...
