It never is like the movies<\/p>\n
where fate makes your worlds collide<\/p>\n
where soulmates get drawn to one another<\/p>\n
and angels and violins your meetings preside.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
it is work, hard work<\/p>\n
you have to talk, adjust, make time,<\/p>\n
It is a journey of two souls,<\/p>\n
embarked with open minds.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It is not the in the grand gestures,<\/p>\n
but the small ones, the routine, the mild,<\/p>\n
a warm hug, a stolen kiss, a mischievous wink,<\/p>\n
The choice to let go, no matter how riled.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It is a synonym of acceptance,<\/p>\n
of gratitude, of forgiveness,<\/p>\n
it is about being there,<\/p>\n
listening and supporting.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It is the quiet touch after a fight,<\/p>\n
the pride in the eyes that says, ‘she’s mine’,<\/p>\n
It is the book bought for me after every work trip,<\/p>\n
and handling my crazy after a bottle of wine.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For me, it is trust,<\/p>\n
it is happiness, faith, the freedom to be true,<\/p>\n
it is not an elusive concept burdened with fancy words,<\/p>\n
for me, it is, simply…You.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
