The I before you
I keep telling myself, there is more to me than just loving you! I try to remember all I am and have always been. There is a lot to boast about, I think… But it leads back to you again, because I know, you just made it all better!
Poems
Sweet debt
Don’t you dare ask if it was worth it,For the cost of loving youwill be paid in dueBut the price of passing you byIs a life devoid of purposeWithout poetry, without heartWithout the gleam in my eye
When did I love you
When did I fall in love with you? In the moment of silence after we share a laugh And after we share pain It is in that sacred space Where we held each other And never let go since Even after we walked away
