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.
