I
And I still don't know what to make of your friendship
II
Shadow? Facet? A more splendid version of who we are?
III
This change is thrilling; the leap unknown but comforting somehow
IV
Letting go means having hands empty to receive what's next
V
Awakening like Spring full of surprising feelings and longings
VI
Created new as buds of emotion holding the flower’s promise
VII
Smiling from deep within and truly relishing the moment
VIII
and smiling more seeing ahead to joys ever unfolding
IX
The realization of happiness feels almost foreign and yet
X
so true as to have been merely lain aside, but was always at hand
XI
so ready, so willing; a synergy like nothing I've ever experienced
XII
together we are the best of each other and yet something so much more
