For John

At our darkest times, I remind you that you love me. I know because you told me long ago.
You remember.
We try. Politeness courteousness finding our way back to each other. Through all of this, it never occurred to me that I could walk away
From my home and my life
It never occurred to me because you love me. I reminded you and you remember.
We are better together. Child-like adults, making adult decisions and treating each other like adults.
Growing hopes and gardens. Growing fatter and older. Growing together.
