HELLO, AFFECTION, DESIRE

Meeting and greeting is how it began,

for a girl named Joyce and a boy named Van.

 

Waiting and searching each one’s soul tentatively wondering if they should risk  adventure and seek out the goal.

 

Life experiences taught them to wait…

Like checking out the water before you jump in the lake.  If only this time the feeling would grow, maybe the heart would truly know.

 

They learned together what things seem to flow

tried new experiences and learned as their commitment would grow.

The seasons and time pass almost seamlessly,

as the two individuals became “we.”

 

She likes “faster” and shopping and finding new things.

He’s content and watchful like waiting to see if the beautiful bird sings.

Caution is wise when mixed with adventure.

The two seem destined but who could conjecture.

 

Each experience and encounter offers more space

for feelings and thoughts to take their own place.

Affection and caring, closeness and sharing,

like the fruit of a tree in spring that starts bearing.

 

It appears certain, as time passes on, that the “we” has developed from the original “you” and “me.”

Love is developed, trust has established and friendship is true, I offer this poem simply to say:

I Love You
