I lost my foundation at twelve.
My heart at fourteen.
My virginity at seventeen.
My wisdom teeth at eighteen.
My independence at nineteen.
My sanity at twenty.
At twenty-two,
I lost my faith.
And at twenty-two,
I met you.
At twenty-three,
I have found these three:
Faith
Sanity
And
Independence
Lost to me
Before you loved me
And now,
I have found what I never had to lose:
Stability
Certainty
And,
Hope
For the future
Because now,
The future is worth waiting for.

ReplyDeleteYou gave me meaning. My words were empty prose, full of false feeling. Your eyes became the muse to my art. Your life and pain, your beauty, our children, gave the words I call into the sky power. You are why I am who I am. I love you. I will always love you.
There needs to be a "Like" button on here. But I really like the paralleling of loss and gain. Keep it up dear.
ReplyDeleteYou know, we have identical time lines. Pretty crazy.
ReplyDeleteGlad you've found such happiness :)
