Tearful Partnering.

I listen to songs on the radio
About long love
And about men who see their women
Who they have known for years
Walking down the stairs in a pretty dress
and it brings a tear to their eye
And my whole soul is flooded with gratitude for you
And all the years
And things
And mistakes
And promises
And pretty dresses I haven't always worn with you in mind

And yet...

You gasp
And you say you'll still be there

And you help me pick out high heels and endure my anxiety at the store

And you make the meals and you bathe the children
And I...

Sometimes I don't know who I am
Or where I'm going

But I know where home is.
I know who is home.
