love

there is peace here. there is calm.
before, during, after the storm.
the sun defines lengths of days.
the moon has its own reasons for being.
the notes on the fridge
are about food.
the silences are. just like words.
we are complete. we are unfulfilled.
but not through the other.

let us relish this.
it has taken time
(and what people call heartache)
but
love finally seems beautiful.
