Relationship
Why does that word scare me so
Maybe because
I’ve watched so many
Come and go
Family members pass
Friendships fade
Marriages die
Lovers leave
I’ve met someone
Who makes me
Want to be brave again
Believe in
Happily ever after again
My romantic mind
Dares to shout
“I want the fairytale!”
My logical mind whispers
“Fool!”
My heart speaks softly
“Look”
A vision flashes before my eyes
This man takes my hand
And we walk together
Along a mountain path
Into a brilliant sunset
My heart swells with hope
It’s rhythmic pounding
Drowning out
The chatter
Of my mind
