Big difference in sacrifice,
Selfless from my side and hesitant from theirs.
Big difference in care,
Mine heals wounds and theirs feels bare.
Big difference in patience,
My patience withstands storms, theirs runs out of endurance.
Big difference in respect,
Mine regards them highly, their’s pretty much often neglects.
Big difference in longing,
Mine yearns to be close, theirs just is a matter of fact feeling.
Big difference in effort,
Mine puts in all effort to build bridges, whereas theirs puts in efforts hardly enough to start one.
Big difference in forgiveness,
Mine has relinquished the pain, theirs has the scars intact.
Big difference in dreams,
I dream of them with me, for them, they dream of being away from us.
Big difference in hope,
Mine is the kind of hope that guides the way, theirs is one filled with a lot of suspicion.
Big difference in love,
All that i have in love is theirs, all that they have rendered is more than enough.
Big difference in silence,
I am silent because I first want to understand, they are silent because they have overcome and want to build a wall.
Big difference in vulnerability,
To them I am vulnerable because I have exposed my mind, to me they are vulnerable because they have shielded themselves.
Big difference in promises,
Mine are more like the braces that keep our teeth straightened and theirs are gibberish that is washed away by the downpour.
Big difference in pain,
I want to speak but theirs hardly feels the impact of what I say because they are always looking to my side instead of the other way around.
Big difference in time,
The whirlpool of time comes to a standstill for mine, the force of time sweeps me off my feet and off to the other side.
Big difference in destiny,
Mine constructs the story of us, theirs is focused on outlining my portion of the tale.
Big difference in faith,
I would say that it is more of having faith week and strong and needless for them to point out the obvious.
There’s a tremendous disparity in affection,
The affection that I possess is a matter of those boundless galaxies, whereas, theirs is just a shooting star which is soon to be out of existence.
When the differences pile like mountains unseen,
You wonder if love can still bridge the ravine.
