The speaker expresses their anxious feelings about their partner being away in the Navy for two years. While they keep in touch through texting, it only deepens the speaker's fears about how their relationship may have changed. Upon the partner's return, the speaker worries they will have become strangers and whether their love can be replanted with warmth and trust again like roots in the soil when winter ends.

The Arrangement
- 1. Our Arrangement by Debbie Evans My pen plants sad blue petals on the page. These anxious feelings hold my heart, impale my soul, and sap my strength until I fail. My strength just show. Whats inside? Fear some rage. The Navy took you from me these two years. At least you have the Internet, they say. The more we text our mundane day-to-day lives, further deepens growing seeds of fear. Who will you be when you come home again? And, will you like the person Ive become? Changes blossom and bloom (we know they must.) Lovers become strangers, and this is when cold winters sunbeams warm the roots that from our hearts replant our love with warmth and trust. dwe 20091201
