I appreciate you
…and the sand castle you have created
…and the life we continue to evolve
I am unsure why things like communication
…and the unsaid
Never gets resolved
But I am learning to see
…that actions are greater than words
…and how it applies to the reverse of what you heard
(Not just bad actions but good actions show you intent: like renovating houses in sand or staying by your man)
And for someone so strong and so resilient
…you’d think I would’ve long ago figured that out
That while words and silence have consequences
What one does daily inevitably cancels some of that crap out
We are both guilty
…of holding onto old shit
And if this plan is to make it work
We maybe both need to be smaller jerks?
Ya think?
I know this. I see you and the sacrifices that you have made
I hope you see the same in me
…and how we have both held on to too much
…and how the other has paid
Because fantasy isn’t a relationship
…we are no rom com
…or episodic love story
We are two flawed human beings
Just trying to make our life’s story
As perfectly imperfect
As impossibly complicated and
As hurtful as things can be
I would ride for you, husband
And you’d do the same for me
