You and I

Sitting
queitly
in the backyard
with you
(a very rare occurance)
was wonderful

reading
watching the kids
from next door
jumping
on the trampoline

watching you
annoyed
swatting the numerous
flies away
I smiled
because
finally
I was
at rest
at peace
not worrying
about what comes
next

And the essence
of who you are
really
showed in your
smile
touch
sweet kisses
making me feel
If we try
a little harder
we might survive
together
after all
