**Dedicated**
You and I
by Peter Bester
I went through life, meandering,
wondering...
Where life's road is taking me.
One day up, the other, down,
searching...
Knowing not my destiny.
All these years you were there;
committed...
As was I. Firm boundaries in place.
Then one day, these fences fell,
clattering...
Leaving us both free to choose.
Now we have choices, yes we do -
unlimited...
A freedom until now not known.
No demands, no expectations;
hesitating...
Could we meet our separate needs?
You are most wonderful by far, more
exceptional...
Than anyone I've ever met.
You give, you love, you share -
unique...
Could this be it for both of us?
You are kind, loving and warm;
unselfish...
You give so much day by day.
And I receive that warmth from you,
unending...
Will you tell me what you really feel?
The days are early - we have time;
contemplating...
About what's important to us both.
If we were meant for one another,
forever...
Will all be revealed in time to come?
