Romantic novels abound
with tales of love
the pursuit then capture
followed by everlasting happiness
but that is the lie
love is something else entirely
beyond the passion
and the fairytales
a commitment
that supersedes circumstance
a trust that transcends
mistakes
the ability to rise to the challenge
and build a life together
beyond economic adversity
and physical infirmity
it includes conversations that are always
interesting even when no one is speaking
a synchronicity that finishes the other’s thought
and takes actions without being asked
conflict can be heated
yet resolved quickly
shared memories and shared
goals, however diverse,
allow each person to grow
through life experiences
when love bridges the gap
for eternity.
