We spewed so many words in anger
Promised so many tributes in passion
Whispered so many prayers in desperation
We struggled to live
We struggled to love
We found no peace
And uncertainty behind every door
We tried to save ourselves from ourselves and failed
Then one day
I poured into you and you poured into me
Proverbs
Psalms
Truth in the place of lies
Hope in the place of desolation
And there it was
Waiting for us all along
Real love
Hands held tightly
Lips pressed tenderly
Forgiveness given freely
Joy accessed easily
And there it was
Waiting for us all this time on the other side
Of pride
Of fear
Of jealously
There it was
The love we always wanted
