Use your discretion when telling the truth;

know how much to tell

without hurting the other,

know how little to tell

without telling a lie.

Do not have secrets against the other,

but have plenty of understandings

you share only with each other.

All things from the past

must be left in the past,

spoken, thought and left

always in the past.

Persuasion should only be used

as the good of both;

not as a key of misleading

from one to the other.

Friendships,acquaintances—

and the like

should be supportive yet seperate

when decisions are being made.

Ties from before

should gradually wane,

as the bonds of love for one another

grow more strong and meaningful,

holding you rapt together—

making you One.

Plans, goals and aims

should slowly entwine:

thought, heartbeats and interests

melt lovingly into

one steady flow.

Days without your other

are days without end

and nights apart

are nights with

no warmth.

Your longing should be togetherness

with the one your heart holds

and each beat this day forward

a reminder of the love

you grew in together.

All else, in the lives

of those truly in love

become only the steps taken

which brought you both

to the love  you now hold…

….And hold onto you must,

through raging storms and sunshine

to the love with a secret

whose truth will only be shown

when you continue to walk

with the one

holding your love….
