Chomping at the bit

We are together; we love each other
and yet we still have complications.
Two separate, independent lives
exist, almost as if independently of us.
Two mortgages, two properties,
two sets of furniture, two sets of everything,
when we only need one.
We spent the last ten years
building up our independent lives.
No wonder it takes more than five minutes
to unravel them.
But even so we are impatient,
chomping at the bit
for coupledom!
