Happy Souls

This is no ordinary romance, 

Initially, it won't be plain sailing, 

But forever becoming better, 

Just how courtship should be. 

We choose 

To walk slowly together, 

for the longest yet most fulfilling journey, 

taking in the views , 

And exhaling 

The most beautiful moments 

all experienced hand in hand, 

getting to know one other, 

feeling safe and content, 

happy in our souls and our hearts, 

But this is perfect, 

with you, 

it's always imperfectly perfect, 

we've already given much, 

Safe to say, shown more than many would 

or ever do in there courtship rituals. 

Our choices are limited, 

That's just the way it is, 

The way it's supposed to be. 

Love moves through from a distance, 

stripping us completely down 

With bare bones on display, 

pledging our all to each other... 

I do... we do again and again! 

Limited they might be 

but with you, 

this way feels perfect. 

I believe this is how it should be for all 

those that find themselves 

possibly falling deeply in love, 

slow steps should be taken, 

to get to grips with those feelings, 

yours and theirs as well, 

after all, 

it is forever that love is desired for two, 

not adolescent short lived flings for one. 

True love never requires a bed of roses on which to lay, 

just a voice in the dark whispering softly and honestly;

"I love you."
