The Dichotomy Of You

You were all things (suddenly) and (at once) the angry scratch of a match yet the beautiful smile of the candle’s flame soothing and hushing the darkness laughing and playing among shadows. You were as open as any book yet hid behind many a cover. (I didn’t judge you) . You were a beautiful lover. You were as honest as sincerity yet sly...treacherous...mysterious as any dark secret can be. Funny enough... you brought out the best in me. You were a train arriving or leaving a station. You were many a cancellation. (...caused great consternation!) Yet you were my one and only ...consolation. You were my sunlight. You made everything bright. You were my night sky ...my constellation. You could be an Enigma Variation or the latest manufactured singing sensation. Your love was just enough...to make a difference. You were my only choice...my preference. You were so surreally REAL yet totally...utterly unbelievable. You were so singular yet incorrigibly plural. You were a little pet yet feral. You... were simply you and I loved you for it.
