Crosscurrents

In every heart there is a room,
A sanctuary safe and strong,
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along.

I'd been in love. Twice. At the same time. And it was hard to imagine a new one coming along. But if my mind ever returned to you, the flare of pain was so acute that I wanted to flinch and step away from myself. I couldn't do that, though. Whenever those thoughts came by for a visit, my stubborn heart made me stand there, helpless in the jagged-edged rubble of all those memories, forcing me to relive times and places as they played themselves back to me.

I love you because when I touch you, I feel more a man than any other man...

I love you because nobody could ever accuse us of love...

I love you because you could love another man, yet still you love me... Just me.
