Your heart is going to be someone’s refuge.

Your heart is going to be someone’s refuge. Take good care of it. Make sure they’d feel safe and secure. Then, give all the right love to that someone for they deserve it. You are their home.

Together we are us. We don’t look like the other us’. We can make our us look like anything we want it to be – this friendship, turned partnership where neither of us is taxed by the other. Our us is the place to be fulfilled and refilled and refueled.

We are refuge – the soft spot, the safe space. We are one another’s comfort and encouragement. We are where we create, advance, and improve. We’re one another’s re-up and rejuvenation. We’re to energize and re-energize. We are the other’s come up and come alive.

You and I together are whole. Together, we are the dreams and wishes of air; the change, creativity, will power, and sensuality of fire; and the cleansing and healing power of water. We are life.

We are healing, truth, passion, fortitude, trust. We are heart. We are health. We are peace. We are magic.  We are gifts. We are inspiration. We are hope. In us is compassion and possibility.

Our us is a love song, a perfect melody. We’re just right – flavorful, savory, and appetizing. We are softness, tenderness, and gentleness. We are the place to come to release, relieve, and relax. Here in us is where we get the things we need to go out into the world. We sustain us. When the world takes from us, us is the place where we get it all back.

The we of us is powerful and vibrant, it shines. We are the starting point and the end of the day. We are dreams and ideas, thoughts and conversations. We are contentment. We are comfortable silence.

We are wear-and-tear repaired; wounds swaddled in balm. We are worries soothed and sadness sweetened. We are pain eased, brokenness restored, and fears extinguished. We are flaws embraced and confessions held in confidence. Together we are new mornings, new mercies.

You and I are a warm hand, the intertwined fingers meant to provide continuous connection. We are thawed feet under warm, cozy blankets and hot chocolate and marshmallows for the soul. We’re the prayer book meant to provide solace. We are the blessings poured out for us each day. We are the slow dance in a fast-paced world and the quiet contemplation needed to recover in a world that’s loud and alarming.

We are the very picture of love. This us. This we. You and I together.
