Well, George you have certainly nailed it with this one. Pun INTENDED! lol... I believe in romantic relationships, it's that security so many want to grab hold of... yet, if the truth be told, it's not another who 'completes us'... but rather, it's what we bring to the table that compliments another... thank you for sharing this most perceptive commentary on modern romance today... alisa ;-)

But sometimes, it's worth taking the chance, right? No matter how old we get, no matter how many times we get knocked down, it seems like the only thing we really can do is get to our feet, try again and hope for the best. Because, hell, you never know when you're gonna strike gold, right? That's the sense I got from this, and I think you illustrate that with incredible skill and form.

This is beautifully written and let me tell you writing a love poem TO a woman is a great idea for reminding her how much she means to you and how much you love her. I am envious.

The honesty and subtle psychological and physical implications are strong in this poem. The title and repetition of the "I know"'s like three wishes give an understated power. The shape of the poem is suggestive of the content.
