Together

Purple

I often remember

the day we were left

with my house to ourselves

and the time that we had.

And the things that we did

and the things that we said.

Words I will remember

until I am dead.

Words that did not make me feel afraid.

Words that gave me hope. Words that you gave

to me like birthday presents.

I guess a new part of me was born that day.

It would make sense. 

And the days afterwards.

In school.

We were good at keeping quiet until the right time came

for us to open like flowers in the morning light.

At the end of the night.

And that was cool.

Even now, as adults, you hold my hand.

Stopping the water from pulling me under. 

And even in the darkest times I smile because I understand

that we have each other.

And you won't leave me for another.

And one day I say;

"I love you."

And to which you reply

that you love me too.
