We plunged into another world
Only armed with hope
To make it through
We selflessly meshed
Two diverse personalities
Absolutely integrated into one
In the name of love.
The roads ahead of us
Might be as smooth
As baby’s bottom
And as flawless
As a work of art
Or as rough as a rock
And as thorny as touch me not.
But we may escape
The roughest
And thorniest
Of them all
And be stranded
In the most welcoming road.
Sometimes we may have
Different views
On what road to take
We want to avoid
The hardships
It entails.
But is it not that we are sometimes
Gauged on the perils
We undertake in life
That the most dangerous times
The triumph tastes the sweetest.
There are cases
Fragmentation evolves
And heart grows cold
Feel empty
Dying slowly.
But we have to remember
Our vow for each other
And the road
From which we started
That we tried and hoped
To make it through
All in the name
Of love.
