Trust is the first word in any partnership,

genuine and to the point,

honest to the core,

and love flickers in earnest underneath it all

though Ladybug had never grasped just how far trust reached

and shook through the core of another

and changed things with a brush of life, unparalleled

Love hid behind doorways in wait,

but only found its true strength,

its true sight,

once discovered.


As eyes met,

finally it fluttered and sprung to life,

and a turtle and a ladybug found its calling,

all the has beens and shouldn't bes, flickered off under its steady steps,

the tell tale sign of two heartbeats caught up in one moment.
