Necessary Gentleness

Do you remember
the gentleness we shared
pure adoration and
sweet desire

Shared laughter
Similar desires
Unfaded hope and belief
the future just a
vast, neverending plane
of possibility
opportunity
riches and comfort in our dreams

We dreamed together
or, at least, I thought so
First your talent
then mine
but life swooped in
and survival became crucial
just me and you
against the world
sounds romantic but
in actuality its
a lonely, hard place for us
both to be

Lets take time out
separate carelessness
end cruelty and
remember past love,
past gentleness
