To be one flesh.
It should be easy
as I spend my life
with you.
But no.
It has taken time.
I find that “to be one flesh” ---
the baring of our very souls
is a process of becoming…
And everyday it unfolds,
Page by page
chapter by chapter,
this, our Love Story.
It will take a lifetime, perhaps, to know you.
Fourteen years into this story and
I am barely past the prologue.
You are my knight who dares not to shed the armor...
And so shall I
peel away layer,
after layer,
after layer,
day after day
after day;
year
after grace-filled year;
for how long it takes
to get to your
beating,
trembling
heart.
