Floating gently on a cloud....

It takes two…

Two to gaze in to each other’s eyes
On the eve of a new beginning,
Two to see the possibilities therein.

It takes two…

Two to tentatively take each others hands
And the first step on a single path,
Hearts a-fluttering at what lies ahead.

It takes two…

Two pairs of lips to meet in that special first kiss
To the music of singing souls,
Tasting possibility and hope.

It takes two…

Two voices to entwine sweet words all night,
Drawing images of whispering dreams
As they turn into reality.

It takes two…

Two to rip a paradise into shreds,
And watch in silence as blood slowly drips
From the canvas of dieing spirits.

It takes two…

Two to choose the words that hurt the most,
Calculating the tenderest regions to strike,
To spell the point of no return.

It takes two…

So don’t blame me, don’t call me evil,
Read carefully the last page of our book,
See these words and take heed:

…It takes two…

"Time has told me not to ask for more, one day our ocean will find its shore" ~Nick Drake

It began so beautifully and then left me shattered.  Such tragedy.

This is a very true accounting of how it goes, and it IS funny, how at the begining it's all.."we",,,in the end, its all....."you", "they","their"......

I wish all could find the true happiness I have found,,in the eyes of Mike

You are so right...it takes two
wanting to make it work. And caring
enough to put forth the effort.
Hugs,
