Introduced by a friend,
we're two broken souls,
looking for...something.
Perhaps not even knowing. 

We see each other.
We accept each other.
We share the joy.
And we share the pain.

A month or a decade,
it makes no difference. 
Where kindness connects,
time loses its meaning.

I love seeing you smile.
I love your inquisitive mind.
And the heart you extend,
to our animal friends.

Eating and laughing
and talking and watching.
We make each other,
feel safe.

But life would not have it.
The truth, it hit hard.
And with a message sent,
everything was falling apart.

The overwhelming need
for deeper connection
left me struggling,
to find the direction.

With values in conflict,
and a desire to do right,
it seemed like all that I could do,
was to make you feel hurt. 

And now that it's ended,
I am left behind,
mourning what could have been,
had things just better aligned.

I am now back to looking,
for something or someone. 
Knowing more than I did,
before you came along.
