When I thought about
how much I love you
lingering thoughts of love
made me turn to water.
I wept inside
when I thought how close
we’ve gotten to the love
I thought we’d forgotten
for each other. A love that
was built from our lifetime
together, connected by blood.
We can never erase-that bond
no matter what.
Today I cried uncontrollably
when I thought of the beautiful
children you brought into this
world, into my life, our lives.
That is what it’s all about-
Love- this fountain that we
gather at to quench our thirst
from the desert of wayward
paths, lost at times without
Sight- I wept at the sight of
our gathering- back from our long
journey’s apart.
Love made me turn to water today.
I reflected on our bond, welling up inside
drinking the love of lifetimes spent
before, here, now, with the sweetness
of the children you brought to
my life, our lives.
