...........................................................



It began as an uneasy alliance
She unable to trust
He unable to reassure
They stayed together
For the sake of the child
They created in an early moment of passion
Agreeing on this, if nothing else
She deserved all they could give her
And two parents were the least they could do
They spoke often and seriously
About this one thing
Avoiding issues they were not prepared for
They sometimes came together in the night
With a intensity that both surprised them
And secretly delighted them
She found herself looking forward to those nights
He found himself creating situations to inspire them
And yet neither spoke of love or passion
They began to speak of duty and understanding
Never realizing the bond they were creating
They began to explore the ideas of right and wrong
Never seeing how much they agreed upon
And the child they both loved
Watched with delight
As the parents she adored
Fell in love without ever knowing it
