love like this

i used to think my parents werent in love anymore

it was so sad to me as i pondered it

i wondered about it

how they fell out of love

how they first fell in love

was there passion

or is it just a team that works

but to see them together now

they are like kids again

i think the situation and the circumstances used to suck the life from them

they let the world get them down

now as they pray and grow

meditate and cleanse their bodies

they are step in step

sneaking snuggles they think i don't see

writing each other love notes that i stumble upon behind them

it gives me hope & reassurance

my parents are in love

i used to think i wanted a love like shihan

but now i know i want a love like this

a love that works for me

a fire that cannot be put out

i realize at times the passion may seem to wane

for a month or two

but it might just be the stress of the world

a month or two for a short relationship

might be a year or more for a long one

seeing my parents together now is a lesson i have learned

they are taught

they are teachers who never stop teaching

i want a love like this

a beautiful love that's like wine

a polar opposites

light and dark

loud and quiet

short and tall

poor & poor, but so rich
