Two Equal Parts

Dear "Tried and True",  

Thank you for graciously sharing half of your heart with me  
For as long as I have feared completely doing the same, you have waited patiently
 
You taught me that love cannot be achieved through selfishness or greed  
That spiritual sustenance comes from, "yours, mine, and ours," rather than, "I, myself, and me"
 
The first to turn me toward the mirror, and introduce me to my reflection  
You ushered in the vulnerability necessary for me to share with you my imperfections  
 
With master key in hand, you unlocked my icy, caged heart  
Shortly thereafter, you lit a fire, and melted through even the most frostbitten parts  
 
As difficult as it has been
Who else has done all that you have to make me feel seen?
 
So I take these two, equal parts  
One of your heart, and one of mine
And mend them the best I can  
Holding tight, I keep faith that nothing will deter us from destiny's plan  
 
Love,  
 
"The Only One for You"
