This is very old

I want to write the "who's" again

The "how's" and "why's" and "do's" again

I'm sick of writing "what's" and "where's"

Of "this" and "that's," of "here" and "there's"

I long to write of people who

Inspire, challenge, and improve.

Who spend time living casually 

In love, and not settling for me

 

I've found them where they've always been 

Convenient, nearly in my skin 

And I am thankful beyond measure 

For the people who make me better

For the hugs that teach me

How to best be,

How to best find 

A we-

A place to be defined-

And not to compromise
