And in that moment

That very first moment

Upon rising from sleep

I am suddenly aware

That it is true

You are really here

Whether near or far

Whether outside or in

You are there prompting

Me to be better

Then than ever before

BeHaveDo

Doing having and being

Are very different things

Doing love for instance

I’m your very first

You’re not my last

But where we are

Is a comfortable place

I often wonder why

It is always hardest

To tell the truth

When two hearts are
