How does love survive

the times, the changes; a white flag

flowing with fears and insecurity.

How do two people stay

with differences, pride and ego

buried in the sandals of want and need.

What does "I love you" mean

when commitment is a Greek tragedy, penciled in

beneath time conflicts and misunderstandings.

Everything that is important falls

between the cracks of ambition, a perception

of what truly matters, or rather,

a deception of convenience,

what we are too afraid to wish for,

too something for a healthy relationship
