Let us enjoy the spring we have created out of the winters we have faced in our lives.

Let us take everything about ourselves and accept each other for who we are.

And let us not cry and venture to change each other.

There are no dragons to slay or wars to fight in our movie.

It is understanding, it is softness of the very best kind.

I love the way the river loves the ocean.

Always finding a way to ebb and flow back to it.

And the way the sun rises only after kissing the horizon.

There is something so quiet and soft about it.

We never shout at each other.

There isnt any hostility or anger or resentment.

When we do speak, it is soft, the way a bird sings the morning awake.

Or how you listen to the waves softly sweep to the land at night.

There is a sensitivity there, a maturity beyond our years.

I suppose explain to them that this is what happens when two old souls find each other is pointless.

Why explain something that is too big to define and too beautiful to waste explaining away?

Instead, I will stay here with you.

Let us enjoy the spring we have created out of the winters we have faced in our lives.

Let us take everything about ourselves and accept each other for who we are.

And let us not cry and attempt to change each other.

Instead, let us just grow together for as long as we can grow together.
