What a journey we forged these past few months.

Full of twists and turns,
     That lead us to these crossroads.

This journey has been worth every moment.

Both high and low,
      And, now we face painful choices.

Will it be a life of pure love,
      Or, will our destinies point us to separate horizons?

Oh what a journey we might make;
      If we were in love,
          Together, and made a journey of our own.

Hidden away within the clouds,

On the outside looking in.

Awkward silent moments disrupt our exchange.

Previous unfulfilled promises move forward to the abyss.

Behind the illusion of words, you reveal yourself.

Do not turn away: I am not done.

The rising sun illuminates our paths.

Redemption arrives.

I dream of that someone who understands me,

     Holds, loves me, fits me perfectly.

           Lights up my darkest night.

This perfect image, lives only in my mind,

      Someone I will never find.

            I believe in love, and await for my love to be fulfilled.

Now, I savour my independence,

     Less structured, more free.

            More relaxed, open to variety.

I yearn for that romantic kiss,

     However, life is not always fair.

          Not everyone wants to embrace a long term affair.

My journey began six months ago,

     Meeting stimulating women who aroused me.

          Maybe one of them will join me along the way.

My dream moves steadily toward reality.

     Building a loving environment,

          That attracts and binds that long awaited love to me.

I built this house upon a strong foundation,
     It cannot be shaken by anything.

I built this house
     With love.

As I built this house,
     I turned it into a home.

I will not allow anything to tear it down,
     Nor shatter my dreams,
          Nor frighten those I love and dwell within.

And this home will witness
     Numerous tales, memories,
          Moments of despair, laughter and, most importantly,

                Love.

Freedom to be me.
     What does that mean?

           It means to be happy, curious, empathetic and open to change.

How do you become yourself?
     Certainly not solely by listening to others.

          Because they see you through their own personal filtered lens.

Can I make my own me?
     Of course I can.

          Scary looking at all the good, the bad and the confusion.

However, the exhilaration of taking control of my actions, my destiny

     Far exceeds the lingering state of unease, unhappiness and inability

         To grow, to reach my potential and to love fully and completely.

We are very much the same.

Finding completion through each other.

Everything else distracts from this truth.

This truth pervades our lives. 

These strong feelings do not fade away. 

The way I feel when we talk or make love.

You are uniquely you, and fit me like a puzzle piece. 

Everything else becomes a distraction from this truth.

Love’s not fair.

You are nothing to me,

     Until you are everything to me.

What happened to our love?

I wander aimlessly,

     Searching for answers to unasked questions.

Warm sun on my face

     Slows my hurried pace.

She gently caresses me.

     I feel our love engulf us.

So…there you are, my love.

     Will this moment abide and flourish?

Love's not fair.

When I first saw you, 
     I do not know what I saw in you.

From that moment on, though,
     Everything was brand new.

When I see your face, 
     My heart pounds.

You take my breathe away, 
     Turning my world upside down.

You hooked my heart, 
     With just a glance.

I want to be with you, 
     If you give me a chance.

Love at first sight, 
     Who thought it would be true.

I never believed it could happen, 
     Until I met you.

You eliminate the darkness in my life,

     Brightening my day.

You ease my pain,

     Healing what remains.

Despite your shattered heart,

    Which  I did not believe held room for me,

           You came to comfort me.

I know one day we will unite,

      Finding the happiness we both deserve.

The rising sun points the way,

     Tomorrow our separate journeys begin.

Not so far away in time or place,

     Our desires and dreams await our embrace.
