I feel like we finally started seeing each other last night when our hands were together your words were soft mine, understanding working toward a life of forever Who knew love could be this hard? Back in the 90's when the net was young words were our life like your name on my tongue We grew closer and intimate without the feeling of skin We opened our hearts wide and accepted the other within As the years flew by and distance reigned life drove us apart as though fate were feigned But, together at last through a fateful verse I reached out and you answered dispelling our curse Now, a few years later we fight hardest for our love learning to embrace when our instincts are to shove I know we'll make it together My faith is greater than the Pope's We have the rest of our lives together sharing passions & play, hearts & hopes Symbolizing my commitment and desire I've given you the hardest stone You gave me in return your heart and body to own

Sometimes true love isn't enough. Sometimes you have to work really hard to change yourself into the person you need to be that allows a relationship to flourish. Always you need hope and endurance to make it through. Recalling an amazing history that's torn my love from me and reunited us, again, many years later. We met on the internet when it was only text and we wrote poetry together, had long (expensive) talks on the phone and we grew to love each other from the inside out. Distance overwhelmed with a country between us and we grew apart. I measured every love after that by what we had and no one could ever live up to what I needed. Over ten years later, a poem rocks my day & forces it's way out through my heart. I sent it to her out of the blue and she responded, still missing me. We moved to the same town and fell back in love, determined to make it last for the rest of our lives.
