That path was not well worn
Upheld loftily in our hearts
Yet we found ourselves
in the same place
with the same heart
and the same mind
An echo,
Louder than before
Deeper than imagined
Better than the past
Promises,
Planned and prepped
Were given in that high place
Less fluttering
Less reticence
You said,
‘I love you’
The end of one path;
The start of another.
