Anniverary

In my youth
romance
was all reactive,
pursuit
more base
than amorous,
typified
by selfish
negotiations
rather than
compromise
and an inability
of vulnerability.

Then there was you.
And along with all
the satisfying
intrigue of desire,
the excitment
and joyful freshness
of courtship,
there was a deep
reservoir
of intimacy,
an effort at
communication,
and a building
growing, melding-
a resonance-
the likes of which
I had never known.
