Sensations cease and patience can be exhausting
Adoration can quickly turn into Aggravation
Desire can dim and dreams can somehow diminish
Love is complex in any relationship, isn't it?
Yet, minute by minute choices have to be made...
The only way to success is "both" being:
stubbornly constant and determined!

Beautiful message about love that absolutely rings true!
I love the quiet wisdom in this one. So many lines that drew familiar memories and the beat is distinct, adding to its charm, especially in the 3rd and 4th line. ‘Stubbornly constant and determined’ is the way to go! I liked this one a lot 👌🏽👏🏽🤗♥️
Choosing is the hinge, isn't it! Great acrostic, Shirley!
Yes.💖
Excellent poem Shirley… choosing to love, through thick & thin.✅💖
Yes, it takes two to tango. Loved your poem!
This one's got a lot of truth packed in! Love's a rollercoaster, but the message is clear: steady commitment and determination win the race. So simple yet powerful. Solid reminder to stick with it!
Great work
So very true. It takes two. Great work on the poem <3
It takes work, that's for sure. Nicely done.
