See how content and peaceful they look….
That’s because they are leaning against one another.
Back to back they sit,
Supported by each other’s strength,
Comforted by the other’s presence
Yet still free to look off in their own directions,
Dreaming their own dreams,
Gazing at their own horizons,
And all the while, knowing their companion is near.
Their posture calls for a complete commitment to one another,
Yet that commitment only allows each of them to do what,
Alone, they could not comfortably do.
When I see them, I see the truth about what love and commitment really means.
When I see them, I see the true essence of our relationship.
Lean against me, my beloved, As I lean on you.
I will be your strength and your comfort,
I will support you, with love and friendship,
As you gaze off in your own special direction,
Dreaming your own dreams.
Lean against me and feel how our love
Only strengthens your own freedom
To be the best you can be.
Know that I am here,
Always behind you,
Your lover, your companion,
Your family, your soul’s true friend.
