I Love You Anyway... and Always

I didn't think you looked very good
Lacking a pulled together sense of fashion
Reflecting a lack in that longed-for solidity of Self
And I loved you anyway.

The vibe was absent this past time.
The energy not-there
Reminded me that this is usually how it is with us
But I desired you all the same.

And I know I feel something, always.
Your darkness, lack, hated-fragility
Pulling for a mirror and camera which together might heal
So I long to caress you.

I wish for the healing
I want for you
I long for you to be whole

I should have said Yes to the sharing.
