A Poem by Bashful Altruism

There are certain things in life that foreshadow what is to come, or summerize what has been happening. Even the most mundane events can create or define a larger situation.  Take for instance, someone missing something they need dearly - and someone coming along and finding it for them.  This may seem like a simple gesture, another event in a long list of daily happenings, but it means much more.  When he came around, he found me - and when I happened by, I found pieces he had been missing.  Often times he sees what I over look, and visa versa. It isn't like life would end if we didnt have eachother, but I feel that we would end up misplacing much more or overlooking things much more often. We are those two pieces of the puzzle that people always lose in the back of the closet, or people sometimes walk off with.  We found, however, that our pieces fit perfectly together.  Sure we've been warped by less than favorable conditions - but ever still we match together.  There is no pressure to withhold that which is natural to me - I can be as blunt with my feelings as is my nature. The future is not an abstract concept and we exchange wishes for our future freely.  For once, in a smile I see promise and love.  My fear has subsided, and given way to appreciation.  Finally, I have found that thing I needed - it just happens to be packaged in a 6'6" and strikingly handsome man.

A very interesting way of looking at the relationship between two people. I like the way you "fit" all the pieces of the "puzzle" together. A suggestion....when posting use the old editor because it will allow you to post as you have it formatted. I had alot of problems with posting myself.
