Vows, month 3

Resign yourself to the wholeness of my love. Stop fighting me, and I will stop fighting you. Our resistance is so similar, yours and mine, born of wary self determination and staunch independence. You trace my scars with kind words, I put my mouth to your hard-won skin. Be soft here with me, and refuse to be mute. Where neither of us is asked to go, we build a garden, and grow.
