We sat across from each other
smile, eat, breathe in the moment
and wait. Neither of us wants to
say the unmentionables. But good,
true, real relationship means we
must call each other out of our mess;
it means we have to decide to
do the hard work. Let me say:
I am glad to be in the struggle(s)
with you because, honestly,
you make it easy. And even our
fights--fierce as they can be--
are so full of love that others
looking on might mistake them
for foreplay. I love the way
we get even THAT right.
