I tried to unlove you
But I couldn’t
So whatever sliver of affection
You have for me
It’s enough
I am teetering on the edge of elation and despair
Like walking the highwire over Niagara Falls
One slight misstep could spell disaster
But I stop in the middle of this hard crossing
Drenched in the bitter spray of the mist
To pledge my love once more
Saying, simply
I love you
And I place one foot in front of the other
Take another step
And another
Alone
In this turbulence
Buffeted by strong winds
But unassailable in the truth of my love
One step
One more step
One step at a time
Waiting to see your hand reaching out to me
Ready to pull me up
Into your embrace
