a rejuvenated love

by Calista Dirdja

True love is to be fighting for
let the gentle breeze soothe
our troubled heart. 
We can fight as much as we want,
argue over the smallest disapproval,
annoy each other
with formerly unknown demeanor,
sob in silence –
but don't we dare to surrender
even for the slightest second,
for it’s nothing compared
to a fruitful out-turn of a truthful love story.
We can burn bridges
time and time again,
but love always finds a way.
Just like the fire in a vast savanna,
it always rejuvenates.
And that's how a new life begins,
and so is our love - it recycles.
