We can prepare for things
A car failing
Running out of soaps
Vacations
Sickness
Health
Growing senile
Forgetting why we even prepared
The list goes on
But how do you prepare for
The person you’re going to dance in the kitchen with?
The person you’re going to laugh and cry with?
How do you prepare for being sick
For being healthy?
For being the best you’ll ever be
And for growing old
With this person
The openness
To see you
Rise into the woman you’re becoming
To be vulnerable
And touched by you
Built back by you
And to love you
Discover you
And know you
I couldn’t prepare
And so
I’m going to need a lifetime
What else is there?
