I tried to write about you
About our love, our friendship
About our journey, about our laughs
And fears, and anxieties
Of epic and not so epic battles
Of the first ebb and flow
Then thousand little ebbs and flows
I tried to write about me
Learning to love
Learning to trust
Speaking up boldly, listening closely,
Apologizing coyly
Figuring out who I am in the midst of change
I tried to write about us
Talking and laughing
Crying and Sighing
Holding on to each other as storms rage
Growing into God’s love as we age
Seating back, making plans
I tried to write about us
But the words weren’t clear enough
The time wasn’t slow enough
The paper wasn’t long enough
My heart wasn’t still enough
