To sustain love,

make communication your key

understand that it's not just you

But you and me.

 

Conversations

Our two sides to one perspective.

Neither is more nor less valid

Both effective,

 

Respectfulness 

Shows our overriding kindness. 

Should we wander off course, let's let

love, remind us

 

Glib promises

overambitiously made

create uncalled-for resentment

and barricades

 

Good intentions

without work, can turn malignant,

Be honest, have the ambition

of commitment

 

Bolster contrast

Endeavour not to change the view

As years progress, you may find that

It's what you do

 

Pernicious jibes

Become magnified over time

Suddenly finding loved ones are

Unvoiced in mime

 

Have awareness

where two opinions diverge

Don't be fooled into challenging

attempt to merge

 

Talk through disputes

silence only breeds discontent

Better be so

rry together, 

then alone: Spent
