6 April 2009
You chose to sail through stormy weather,
unchartered waters and raging seas.
You could run away
live life as many do:
as “normal” guys –
approved of, applauded.
Instead,
with struggles and fears,
you’re choosing to see,
to question foundations,
and seek to be
who you truly are.
We both wish things were easier –
wish for an ideal life.
But it’s not our own.
It would mean
each one of us
alone
and none of us together.
Someday we’ll be at peace
with ourselves
and with each other.
But for now,
I will hold you close,
rest in your arms,
wanting to be your home
and desiring you to be mine.
I love you.
And know
you do too.
