it starts when you thought your heart would literally stop
this is more than an intimate relationship
its bigger than church membership
more intrusive than accountability
more permanent than a tattoo on your forehead
not purchased on a whim like your favourite pair of overpriced shoes
higher highs and lower lows than MDMA
more dependant than an aortic pump on oxygen
reliant as a wheelchair user
a better journey than round the world in 80 days
with enough roundabouts to cause nausea
as conflicting to modern society as cannibalism
more gut wrenching than that bad news that blindsides you on a monday afternoon
the romance of a first kiss with the commitment of a 70 year marriage
the humility of the pardoned
peaceful as the instant just before you fall asleep
and its not finished until your lungs deflate one last time
