Love

What does it mean
To love someone,
If not to trust them?
To care for our partner
Means to share
Your life with them,
Putting each other first
While holding boundaries.
Forgiveness is the mortar
For all these things,
We forgive the one
We love because
We are in love.
Forgiveness
In love, like sleep,
Allows us to knit up
Cares & fears
Unraveled
By stress
And life’s
Bumps in
The night.
