It's unavoidable.
It has to happen.
It's unspeakable, our love without a caption.
Irrevocable.
We let it happen, it had to happen.
It tested us.
We didn't run, we faced it.
We faced each other.
Vocalizing.
Internalizing.
Reflecting and recognizing.
Even when there were surprises.
Pain that caused uprisings.
We didn’t let go when things were no longer appetizing.
We learned the imperfections in our perfections.
The weakness in our recollections.
The strength in our forgiveness.
The vividness in our transparency.
The truth of who we were created to be.
The beauty and chaos found within humanity
We had to go through...
The growing pains.
