Old Love <br /> <br />What love means to me is <br />a partnership of trust, <br />a merging of souls, <br />commitment a must. <br /> <br />It's not about ownership <br />or archaic vows to obey. <br />It's about loyalty, fidelity, <br />and sacrifices we make. <br /> <br />What love means to me is <br />a meeting in the middle. <br />Two souls functioning together, <br />both opposite, yet equal. <br /> <br />Like the motion of waves <br />love waxes and then wanes. <br />First, romance and excitment <br />then conpanionship gained. <br /> <br />What love means to me is <br />how you season the weather <br />surviving imminent tempests <br />then cuddling together. <br /> <br />Companionate love <br />is the ultimate goal <br />a love that means comfort <br />a love that's grown old. <br /> <br />what love means to me is <br />an assured kiss goodnight <br />from my best friend and lover, <br />on the left, to my right. <br /> <br />©2008 Dawn Slanker<br /><br />Dawn Slanker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/old-love-free-verse/
