I recall the masks
             we had to peel off,
learning about each other.
  Sometimes,
     I didn't want to see the
             real you,
and accepting parts of me
     was equally as difficult
             for you.
But, each courageous peek,
     revealing who we were
   fortified our growing love.
Stripping off our masks
      seemed to use so much energy,
yet, in reality,
      it gave us such strength.

  I'm so glad,
      we never gave up trying.

..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons..
        "Desiderata"
