Coins for the Coffer

We collected our cups,

And we filled them fast.

When everything was simple,

We had it all.

The easy times are past

And life's complexity rains down.

There is a choice to make,

A crossroad.

Searching…

For happiness,

For fulfilment,

For balance.

Searching for what works in our reality.

The time to reflect is at hand.

Do you have your thoughts together?

I can only hope I do.

Whether we are ready or not,

Time is moving forward.

We can hold the reins, if we choose,

Lest we exist as the beasts bound in them.

Choice can be paralyzing.

I'll try to choose respect

Without unreasonable sacrifice.

This could work. I believe that,

But a relationship takes two. 

I'm in it for the long game,

And I hope you are too.

Because there's so much left to explore,

And I want to be alongside you.
