Awe

I spent years begging a person I loved to just talk to me, work through issues together, tell me what was wrong,

only to be met with anger, a slammed door, a drunken return,

so excuse me if I spend the rest of my life in awe of you and us,

how easy it is to have a simple discussion, how conflict never leads to arguments,

how we hold each other through it all,

facing every challenge with fingers too interlaced to be pointed with blame.
