I never had a wedding and
I went to prom with a group of
single girls.
I didn't need any ceremony
focused on two people —
I needed the love of the world.
I had no need for admiration or fame —
I needed empathy and respect and
soft, gentle hands
in the middle of the cold night,
in the high heat of the day.
I needed to receive that kind of love —
and I was ready to give in return.
Let's take care of each other —
just because we can.
