Regardless of external strife
I will never lose that part of me
Now intertwined within my life
These new colours in my tapestry
Myriad colours, unbreakable thread
So long, and carefully stitched
Map a picture in my heart and head
Embroidery your love enriched
Added to those long years as friends
Weaves warp and weft so strong
Snugly fits with no loose ends
How did we not know for so long ?
