Mind the gap

When we first met 
No problem seemed evident yet 
Nothing mattered
A fog of love and laughter .
The future seemed so bright
They were wrong and we were right .
Love would conquer all .
Every obstacle , before it
would fall .

But advancing years bought home truths 
The gap widened every time we looked .
The mirror didn’t lie 
Nothing can halt father time.
Now his best days are a distant haze
And I’ve become a carer in subtle ways 
Rather than being an partner .

Being Me

Relationships evolve and change through the years. You need that undying love at the beginning ming to see you through to the end. I love the way you explored this so poetically x
