Relationships don’t always work out as planned. At times, however, you believe the right thing to do is to keep trying.

 

From the bottom of your heart, you believe things can get better . . .

 

 

Even Now

 

Even now

we can find

our way.

 

Even now.

 

It troubles me

you cannot see

the gift

I bring

to our relationship.

 

It troubles me

you question

my sincerity—

the words

of love

I share.

 

It troubles me

you won’t

take my hand

and face

the future—

our destiny

together.

 

Why?

Why?

Why?

 

When did it

all disappear?

How did I miss

the signs?

 

Take a deep

breath.

Suck in the cool

autumn air.

Exhale and picture

what can be,

not what was.

 

Even now,

we can find our way.

 

Even now.
