Love Is a Sacred Thing

I want to be able to, look back one day,
And know that, ultimately, these were good times,
That everything we have gone through,
Was worth the time and the feelings,
No matter how painful it might have been,
Or how hopeless things got. 
We were made to discover things
About one another, about ourselves through each other.
The words shouted at each other,
The fire in our anger and frustrations,
The heat in my tears, the breath in your sighs,
The love, however enduring or ephemeral,
In our embraces, whispers, and unspoken thoughts;
These... are the things, kept safe in my heart.
And no matter how the days pass, I hope that
Whenever I listen to your songs, I will smile.
