Give and Take

What have you given to me?
Your time
Your attention
Your thoughtful reflection
A hand to hold
A mischievous grin
A slow seduction
And full flushed skin
Yellow flowers, "the color of hope"
A lingering shower with Irish Spring soap
Rides through the country and to the shore
Music and movies and meals by the score
Piggy back rides
Casual hikes
Belly raspberries
Late night tickle fights

What have you held back, that keeps us apart?
Your heart.

And what have you taken from me?
My breath
My hope
A love sublime

But I will get them back, in time.
