I climb in bed, hair still wet from the shower and body tired from the hard day’s work. You’ve been asleep for a little while now, and I laugh to see you’ve stolen my sleeping mask. Stick straight, back down, you rest your weary spirit.
We’ve got a ways to go, you and I, but slowly, slowly, we’re finding the peace we both desire. We’re passionate people; we feel the fire in our bellies. But passion can come at a price. And it takes so long– it could take a lifetime, I suppose, but I have faith that we will find that balance. We still face off from time to time but we yell a little bit less, and even when we get mad, we forgive more quickly.
You and I, we had a dream. We knew our love was epic. We felt our love was bigger than any love had ever been. Maybe we were a little naive and a bit self centered, but I still believe all those dreams were meant to come true. I still believe our love will change the world for the better. You are my mirror, and you show me all my flaws. You show me the skinned knees and deep gashes of my heart. You show me all the little things that they’ll stop me at the gates of heaven for. But you also show me my beauty. You show me the places where I shine.
For every dream, there is a day-to-day. We are living our dream, all the while building new ones. We’ll get there if we just keep going forward. Chugging along slowly but surely.
