“and the greatest of these is love”

 

with time we have become

in/ti/mate

the lovers’ quarrels

necessary steps

faux pas

mis/take/s

misread intentions

unspoken love

too shy to reveal

all

 

we learned we cannot read

each other’s minds

 

all the while

fearful of faulty connections

sexy repartee

(with more than one)

jealousy of lovers

sparring, not understanding

this dance of love

 

we are at a crossroad

 

we’ve talked

and sang

and danced

and lived a life

of joy and light

in/ter/linked with pain

and hurt

and anger

 

we live in faith

we walk in hope

but our legacy

what is pre-ordained

will forever be

our love
