Celebrating
the ones I left behind
and my empty heart
the ten hundred lovers
and the few I loved
they were not you
Celebrating
the lone journey
the heartaches
the crashed dreams
and the innocence of early years.
celebrating you
not being there
Celebrating
the empty chairs
and dinners alone
being oneself
and the many years
of not finding you.
i didn’t know
i was waiting
Celebrating
the choices to say no
the intoxicating freedom
of being one
and being strong
through my clenched fists.
you’re kissing
my fingers open
Celebrating
breathing in our space
savouring
your flavoured touch
the music in your eyes
celebrating you
for confirming
the color is forever blue
Celebrating
not painting my numbers
and going freestyle
holding tight
while we jump.
together we flow
in the blue skies of the universe
and across the seven seas.
