Missed But Still

How did we miss each other?
Both looking for what a partner could not guess
Being human we often fail this kind of test
But being human and in love we’ll continue to bother

To try
Of ourselves we will demand
Because love is more than just the good times

And even in the discordant moments that don’t rhyme
We will do it again and
We’ll cry

Then try again because we care knowing the pain can’t smother
The ever deepening love to which we’ve both confessed
Something neither of us would have ever guessed
Missed but still with each other
