Everything about you
Is both perfectly effortless and chaotically fraught
Is it a challenge to love you?
It never has been
Is it a challenge to keep you?
It isn't something I can know
I would rather not know
Is it a challenge to push you?
Mostly it is a challenge to balance
Teasing and challenging
With accepting and holding
Even when I know how much you deserve both
I know I need honey and vinegar
On the messy salad of life
But how much is too much?
