Thank you for showing me what it was like to love…
I mean, like, really love.
Even if only for a brief moment, I remember feeling whole.
I know there were many more moments of malevolence involved in our time together.
Even still, I only tend to recall the scarce and thinly-spread moments of elation.
I recall being in disbelief that first night that it all went down.
Our friendship would never be the same.
Your first name will forever be my middle name.

Sunsetting Pride 2024
Happy Pride! As Pride Month 2024 begins to sunset, I want to congratulate every individual who has become brave enough to take control of their life and live as their authentic, beautiful self. This is a month when it highlights those accomplishments. From acceptance within families and friends to acknowledgement in the political arena. Starting with Stonewall (and events prior) leading to the Supreme court ruling for same-sex marriages. We are here, we are queer, and we should never live in fear.

Oh, you make me wonder what happened, this was expressed so poignantly.
Heartbreaking and touching 💓 x
This is so touching. I like your writing style, to the point in a gentle manner. Excellent work!
Gosh that was so heartbreaking and emotional. Loved your poem!
Aw, that's so beautiful. I had a love like that once ... for six months. We were only 16. His parents took their family and moved away. We never saw each other again but he'll always be in my heart. Thank you for reminding me that love will always live forever.
