Pictures on the Wall

I loved you,
From the first time I saw you,
We were so young,
Foolish, teenagers.

Timing was unimaginable,
High school.
But, I knew it was love.
We were destined to be together.

We had a family,
So much to learn,
But we will grow together.

From place to place,
Fight after fight.
Our love was strong.

Life has an awful way of turning dark.
Problem after problem,
We drifted apart.
Our lives separated,
Our love divided.

Who were we?
Foolish?
Too young,
Inexperienced.

Until fate brought us together again.
I had my doubts,
I was very insecure about
What I deserved.

Not happiness,
Not love,
Not you.

It was you,
You who fought for our love,
Fought for us,
Fought for me.

You who I love,
Who I deserve.
We moved in together.

Again under one roof,
Together, as one.
Who was I without you?
How did I live without you?

So why haven’t I hung my pictures ?
Where is this going?
What if?

You are all I need,
All I want.
I’m not afraid anymore,
You are my security,
Again till death do us part.
I finally hung my pictures,
As a symbol of I’m home.
