Togetherness



Before I truly would've found
An enamored type of spirit
Befuddled, was my heart
As to whom I'd let near it

Family, of course, would be right there
To give and take love freely
But reverence towards one another
Is what I aspired toward, really

I looked in every single place
To me would seem just right
But even looking beside, alas,
Real love had shown no light

Conceding now that such a shine
Would honestly never be
I began to abandon all my hope
Of someone romancing me

Then suddenly a twinkle came
That my eyes had not foreseen
It turned out to be the genuine love
I needed to be serene

The light kept growing so immense
The Sun, I couldn't see
And when I thought the growth had stopped
It surprised both you and me

For this flourishing light we have
May go beyond us two
Just by voicing three small words:
"Yes" and "I Do"
