We met as equals, in words and silence
We grew with appreciation of difference and love.
We managed the changes that life can bring
And in all the chaos, never forgot each other.
We listened and spoke with gentle care
We wanted the best for both.
We grew older, as did lust and passion
But we grew older together, never closing our hearts.
We recognised that things sometimes felt wrong
but then looked into the eyes of our love to make it right.
We knew we didn’t always get it how it should be
We never stopped loving when it was this way.
We always knew what was most important in life
Not things or money or stuff, but simply us.
