Love in layers for the visually impaired
When I fell in love for the first time,
he was perfect: kind, clever
and so very funny with his lightning wit.
He made me laugh and he opened up my world.
We had so much in common;
I read it in the stars.
I compared our birth charts
because I was into those things then.
We had so many connections,
I was sure
he was the one.
When I fell out of love for the first time,
he was the most imperfect of suitors:
unreliable and so very stubborn.
He bored and suffocated me.
We had nothing in common;
I read it in the stars.
I looked at our charts
because I was into those things then.
We had so many conflicts
I thought
it was a wonder we ever got together in the first place.
