gruff   upon further   closer   acquaintance

reserved

we didn't express every emotion as it arose   he says

raised in this unspoken manner   colin

too   is   if not gruff   quiet

in a way which speaks volumes   how ironic

far away   across the nation   an ebullient woman

speaks exactly as she wishes  

no bones about it   she is blunt

i see them together   a perfect mismatch   yin yang

reticence y ebullience

i see them fulfilling each other   

how to get them together

how to drive the golden spike
