"I'm hard to like", were your first words "Don't worry, mine is a soft heart; Any rock or steel, it can bear." You laughed at my reply And quipped, "Only time can tell." Then you shook your head; a grin adorned your face. I shrugged my shoulders; a glow sparked in my eyes. Since then, our fellowship commenced You swapped the mighty sun with the silvery moon So my shimmering days could be your starry nights. But the first test came uninvited And turned the world into a standstill Those dancing dots bore witness instead As we brewed words into stories, dusk or dawn. Such was the state of our circumstance Time did tell how strong our bond had grown You weren't difficult to like, that I already knew The moment I learned I was just like you.   Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
