Self-Love

You run, I hide.
You ride, I cry.
You kiss, I melt.

Round and round we go.
Round and round we spin.
Round and round we dance.

In our circle of love, like clockwork we show up -
To kiss 
     To fight
To love
     To bite.

I never knew a love like ours.
It is ever changing, ever growing, ever there.
A love I always wondered if I could bear.

So from me to you, and from you to me:
Thank you Self, for loving me.

Be patient with my often changing tides 
And count me in for the long ride.
