I now understand there will be
A Day
when the world turns in
Our Favor.
When that moment comes,
how changed by the world
Will We Be?
You were affectionate
Before
when the globe aligned in
A Manor
that allowed us to meet,
and now experience has left
You Changed:
Cynical,
almost beyond measure.
But within the jaded confines
Of Your Heart
is the man who loves me.
I will fight the world for
You,
your battles as well as
Mine.
I will reach you and show
You
love can exist even within
Heartache,
even within a fate that
Conspires
to make us separate
Instead Of One.
I will not forget the lessons
you teach me,
Sometimes patient beyond
what I deserve.
Your tolerance the balm
for my mistrust and anger,
even pain.
