Nothing was obvious,
nobody guessed.
Oil mixing with water
was not what
anyone looked for.
We were overlooked.
What was the attraction?
We are so different.
We’ve made it work,
meeting halfway on issues
that affect us both.
Neither hesitant nor receptive,
rather a calm acceptance of
meeting in the middle.
Thus we carry on,
apples and oranges
sweet and sour.
We meet halfway,
working hard to preserve
love and passion,
dedicating today
to improving
tomorrow.
must be in the air. I had trouble too. But, this is stellar! I get it and love it!! :-)
ReplyDeleteWow! Thank you so much!
DeleteThat's actually really, really sweet. I'm reminded of a beautiful song by Squeeze, called 'Heaven Knows'.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Now I have to go listen to that song!
DeleteI know that song! You're right, it does! And I love this piece, too. It's a very familiar situation. :-)
DeleteThanks, Jessica!!
DeleteWell done!
ReplyDeleteYour writing is so gentle and open, there's a vulnerability there that hints at developing strength.
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much for your kind words! Much appreciated!!
