Revalations
by jennie kathryn


We me at neighbors then as friends
in the childlike summer of nineteen seventy-nine.
Our play was together from the start of day to when it ends
neither of us knowing that I would be his and he would be mine.
For years we were known as the best of best buddies,
we did anything and everything together, we two.
We played sports and hung out and worked on our studies.
It was never a matter of I, it was: Today what have we to do?
As the years passed and many were sure we would part,
through the anger, frustration, and confusion of life,
somehow we kept ourselves in the other's heart
wondering: Will he be my husband? Will I be his wife?
Then, years later, when the future seemed most grim,
we realised, all he needed was me, and all I needed was him.
