Love Story  by Barbara Boughton You were there  All along  I didn’t know  I stumbled against you  You caught me. You slept soundly  The sheets coiled around you  I turned away  And thought of these last months  When we circled each other  Like children, spoiling for a fight.  We pulled apart like a stretched rubber band  And wondered why it didn’t break  But bounced back. We struggle to talk  And share our secrets  We hold them safe  From the world outside Making our way together  We trip and roll  Up a hill and down another  Intertwined like a child’s braid. I’m out of breath, you say  Lean against me, I say.
