You and I
By Deanne Laura Pool
Relationships are never
easy, and you and I
have had our share
of struggling and troubled
times, but together we
made it.
Together, we cared enough
to face our problems;
we loved enough not to
let go…
What we have together is even stronger
because of all we’ve been through,
all we’ve struggled with.
I sometimes worry about the future,
but with you by my side
the future seems much brighter ~
the present more precious,
more meaningful.
We need the tears to appreciate the laughter;
we must share our problems to realize
how much we truly need each other ~
to give our love the chance to expand,
to strengthen, to endure.
We deserve nothing less than a love
that will remain through all aspects
of our lives.
Together, we will face all obstacles
with confidence
because we already know our relationship
can endure even the worst of times,
as long as we love ~ share ~
and stay together.
