Our Journey

Summary: I hardly recognise the 24 yr old who chatted me up in the pub but 30 yrs later, he's still my everything. Not been plain sailing (what relationship is?) but totally worth it




I see you.
All bones
and wit.
An assault of
assumption
and surety.
Common sense
was no match
for gravitational pull
 
You were not
a safe path.
First steps
tiptoed
through a
thicket
of regret
and broken
souls
 
A stop start
that age and laugher
smoothed.
In indelible ink
our life's map
seeps
into cracks
in our 
joined hands.
