Misperceptions of Love

We met in a world of gray,

Two strangers brought together in an unexpected way.

From the moment I saw you, I felt a spark,

A connection that was destined to leave its mark.

We started talking, sharing our thoughts and dreams,

And it wasn't long before we were a team.

We laughed and joked and flirted too,

And before I knew it, I was falling for you.

But then something shifted, and you started to withdraw,

Leaving me feeling lost, alone, and raw.

I couldn't understand what had gone wrong,

And in my confusion, I didn't feel strong.

We tried to talk it out, to clear the air,

But it seemed like we were speaking different languages, unaware.

What I thought was clear, was vague to you,

And it left us both feeling confused and blue.

Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months,

And I found myself constantly at the brink of the blunt.

The frustration building inside of me,

Not understanding what it was you wanted me to be.

One day it hit me, like a bolt of lightning in the sky,

That maybe it wasn't a matter of who's wrong or who's right.

Maybe we just saw things differently,

And that didn't mean that you didn't love me.

I made the decision to accept our differences, to let them be,

And in doing so, I finally started to see.

That our love could be different, and that was okay,

As long as we both wanted to stay.

I started to try to see things from your perspective,

To understand what it was that made you so selective.

And as I opened myself up to your point of view,

I saw that we were more similar than I ever knew.

We grew together, in ways that we never thought we could,

Building a love that was unique, but oh so good.

We learned to communicate in a way that worked for us,

And in doing so, we found the trust.

Now we stand together, stronger than ever before,

Our love like an unbreakable chain, a forevermore.

And though we still have our differences, we embrace them with pride,

For it's those very differences that make us feel alive.

We learned to appreciate each other's strengths,

To focus on support and uplifting lengths.

Communication, the key to our understanding,

Expressing our feelings, with love commanding.

Through the struggles, we grew closer together,

Leaning on each other, through any weather.

Grateful for the love that we share,

Rooted in understanding, always fair.

Our love story, a testament to love's power,

Beauty in understanding, in every hour.

True love can prevail, even amidst confusion,

Our story, a perfect example of love's resolution.

Our love is a journey, full of twists and turns,

And though there may be obstacles, our flame still burns.

For in each other's arms, we find a sanctuary,

A place of safety and love, where we can be free.

As we walk hand in hand, down this road we call life,

We know that our love will conquer any strife.

For we are stronger together, than we could ever be alone,

And in each other's love, we have found our true home.

So let the winds of change blow, and the storms rage on,

For we will weather them together, until they are gone.

Our love is our anchor, our guiding light,

And with each passing day, it shines ever so bright.

And when we are old and gray, looking back on our life,

We will know that our love was worth every sacrifice.

For in the end, it's not about the things we've amassed,

But the love we've shared, that will forever last.
