When Love Is In the Leftovers

Trying to gain momentum

To grasp the tasks at hand.

 

Depleted and exhausted

Cranky and empty

Closing in…

 

You offer little

I want more.

You stretch through

I bend too…

We meet there.

Your light now dim

We soak it in

Once again.

I always get the leftovers…

 

This is where we meet.

Life takes us here.

We find ourselves within the leftovers.

 

We navigate our way around our needs

Pushing, stretching, bending

Around each other.

And realize the richness of our love

Lies in this undying haze.

We filter through and find our fill…

Our love lies in the leftovers.

 

1 Corinthians 13:7

7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
