Grace and Brian have been going steady for over a year. They are contemplating what lies ahead for their relationship.

From romance to love

I held your face in my hands, I looked into your eyes,

I smiled, I sighed.

My heart felt warm, it poured forth love,

A friendship was formed, of that I was sure

A love I hope will weather many a storm.

It does not demand, it’s just comfortable

It’s simple, it’s sincere, no need to fear

Its intent is pure, it’s demure.

I speak some words, and they come out wrong

I misconstrue; I confuse

If I write you a poem the words will speak

Smooth and true, honest and clear.

I mean no harm as I hesitate

My heart’s been bruised and the wounds go deep

Accept my embrace one by one, moment by moment as genuine.

Who knows where this new love may lead?

A wedding, children, extended family.

A home of our own with a garden and swings

A future together, hopefully.
