Now I know

Now I know everything I said you underscored.  Those months of agony waiting, for a partner. For someone to understand my soliloquy.  
And how you were there in the backdrop.
Small comfort.  
Someone to dispatch.
And easy to talk to.
And wanting to hear me.
Tracking my stories.
Counting the things that I mentioned with weight.
 

It's the things you do with the gaps.
With the stretch marks. 
With things that are mounting.
And just when we think we are on the fringe.
And in our worst need. 
How wonderfully you knit us together.  
How beautifully you step down just to heed for us.

Sometimes our need is the real blessing.

How lucky are we, Nepthy and I came back from conference.
And Catia fractured her foot.
Skateboarding accident.  

And we could be there. 

How you put us where we need to be.  How you let us have hold ups.
How blessed we are to have need.  To be a place of outpost for Catia.
