I remember the days when we didn't have to care.
No matter what happened, we'd always be happy.
But in the recent past we've both been irritable,
Snapping at the smallest problem or disagreement.
Now, as I try to observe us from an outsider's point-of-view,
I see a couple trying to be as close as they once were.

We spend our time together making each other smile and laugh,
And in our private moments, we share warmth and intimacy.
You have always wished to know what was going on in my head,
I always answered simply that it was you.

-The moments that we share are all that stick out in my mind...

From the first time I had ever called you,
To when I had seen or spoken to you last.
In my life, you are powerful.
Your words hold deeper meaning than any other.
But it still amazes me, that sometimes when we're together...
You say it best when you say nothing at all.

Welcome to Passions' circle of poets and friends~

'You have always wished to know what was going on in my head,
I always answered simply that it was you.'


That is a STUNNING line ...~

the spirit rejoices over what it has left.
