Love evolves,
and every day, I find
new ways
to love the new version of you;
new versions of us.
While cherishing all
the ways we were
and not anymore,
all the things we adopt
and let go about ourselves,
we find ourselves embracing
what we’ve become
together.
We passed
the previous tests
in flying colors,
even if we didn’t always take
the most ideal path;
we’ve created
solutions
tailored just for us.
Forget the numbers;
we don’t need to know the odds.
We have our hands
to guide us
where we want them to land.
And I will always
find yours in the dark.
I’ve memorized the places
you take to hiding
when this world becomes
too much.
I know where to wait,
keeping the lamp of faith
lit outside the tunnel.
Because I know
you’ll come out of it
looking for me
to be by my side
in our evolution as lovers
of our ever-changing selves.
Our Evolution as Lovers of Our Ever-Changing Selves
