the love of my life

patience and perseverance,
be it through enduring devotion
or steadfast curiosity,
brought us together


somehow, even as strangers,
before we could know what was possible,
we chose to open our hearts to each other


we knew what this meant when we met,
our hearts were set in motion
and we surrendered
as our fates pulled us together


as we continue to merge our lives,
as the strength of our union
is cyclically tested,
we are alchemized and liberated


through each seed sown
and each cavity pulled,
we are distilled to our core principle;
it's always more simple
than we can seem to remember,
it's pure love that remains


you have taught me what
it means to have hope.
now, we get to learn what trust
and true support really is


you are my rock and my mirror,
and i hope you see the same in me
because all i ever want to be for you
is the best partner i can be


i will be at your side,
so lets keep going together


so much love,
your jolie
