you and i two eggs
different upbringing
wide range of triggers
you and i two eggs
fate brought us together
to help each other grow
you and i two eggs
turned into adult beings
matured through love
you and i two eggs
unique attitude to life
moments take us apart
you and i are one
obstacles climbed
the mastery of WE
hello my dear
it has been a while
our past encounters
long into the night
sitting next to you
now makes me smile
seeing the light
little wit no ink
joyous to give into
your embrace
much rather than
visit to the shrink
gentle movement
sweaty fingers
brain fog lifted
spilling it all out
your touch is gifted
truth uncovered
books on the shelf
shadows with a glow
the time is here
to know thyself
first encounter
succinct introduction
promise of more
all arranged
high hopes
will this be the one
at the table now
one talking
the other nodding
until the topic
of procreation
suddenly a pause
a blush of uncertainty
human kids will not be
on the agenda
no rejection
no prejudice
relief and ease
childfree for life
made by choice
not by circumstance
date that turned into
lifelong companionship
unencumbered
what do we love more
the product or its inventor
what do we love more
the children or their creator
does love pick sides
is it equal to all
come out of the trauma
leading to regrets
hurt and bare
in search for meaning
we stop the choosing
the day we realize
all is one… connected
loved
