You and I

I love you without reason
and without fault.
I see
you and me
with hurt,
pain,
and unspoken secrets
passed between
invisible distances.

Always crying are
you and I,
you one way
and I the other,
the rivers merging
in the middle.

Laughter is the rain
refreshing dry hearts
allowing them to hurt
and to love
all over again.

Only
you and I
can understand
what makes us
so much more...

I love you without questions
and without blame.
Troubles pass
under bridges
while we stay
the same.

Born to live with
you...
choosing to love
you,
with no exceptions.

You cry diamonds,
I’ll shed some rubies...
and the richer we will be.

Hold on tight
or just let go.
The days will keep
coming without fail.
Love swallows
everything...
We cannot
drift apart.

Only you and I
can understand
what makes us
so much more...

I love you without regret
and without doubts.
Nothing could flow so right.

When you need it,
I will swim to you
through the tears ...
I promise.

I love you without reason
and without fault.
I love you without questions
and without blame.
I love you without regret
and without doubts.
Only you and I
can understand
what makes us
so much more...
than sisters.

"Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone
I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me."

an emotional piece that was quite nice and fluid. it started off almost as a poem to a lover with it's intimacy that I was caught off guard by the ending being to a sister. once the ending was read though, it made the little things fall together and blend better than it did at the first read. surprisingly beautiful poem.

Thanks everyone for your comments! Is it just me, or do you guys find that the more you love someone the harder it is to write them a poem? What words do you pick? Frustrating, but worth it.
