A List of Essentials
What makes us work?
It all fits in a shoe box.
A needle strung with black thread.
When we need to be stitched back together
But a scar to replace a wound
As a reminder
Sometimes love hurts,
A candle.
When we need our own world
For a haven of warmth
To coexist in
Sometimes love comforts,
A translating dictionary.
For when the language barrier
is too tall for me to see over
And you don’t have a ladder
Sometimes love misunderstands,
A large sea shell.
We can pass it back and forth
I’ll listen to your dreams
You listen to mine
Sometimes love listens
Sometimes love hurts
,but it also comforts.
Sometime love misunderstands
,but it also listens
And because I love you
I will keep my shoe box near.
Always
