I once thought our love was a boundless sea,
Endless and free, where we could drift effortlessly.
But as the tides of time went by, I saw the need,
For shores to stand on, and a horizon to read.

Your boundaries, like lighthouses, stood tall and clear,
Guiding me through the fog of assumptions and fear.
They marked the edges of your soul, the limits of your heart,
And showed me where to anchor, where to never depart.

In seeing your boundaries, I saw myself anew,
My own limits, my own needs, my own horizon to pursue.
I learned to respect the space between us, the air we breathe,
And found that love's beauty lies not in suffocation, but in liberty.

Now our love is a dance of two, with steps defined,
A harmony of give and take, of respect and design.
We move within the boundaries we've set, with grace and ease,
Together, yet individual, like two wings that find release.
