Poetry: Together

We have been together longer
than each of us has been alone.
What makes us tick, and why we click;
the reasons are unknown

You are social and outgoing,
a veritable party for sure
I live inside, attempting to hide
from a world I try to ignore

We are both private and would never
display outward signs of affection.
We have different interests, and often
each goes in a different direction

I am intellectual, you are artistic,
we are an unseemly pair.
All we seem to have in common
is our mutually snow white hair.

You will rise to a challenge,
I tend to procrastinate
Your generosity is legend;
frugality is my strong trait.

Although we are an odd couple,
whatever the reason or rhyme
A half century together has passed
in what seems like almost no time

Romantics would find us annoying,
as we each march to our own beat
We do not complete one another,
but together, we are complete.

    And now I wanna

    When I looked at you and you looked at me
    I thought about reflection, reversed with possibility
    Was I really seeing you, as

    We were friends before we got together.
    We have kids now and that will last forever.
    Even if we could not.
    Get over your pride,

    Green glitter spilled across the floor
    The night you asked me back into your life
    It left a trail, like your footprints on
