A Fact

it is a fact
that the first words
of 2010
were spoken in my ear
were the words
"i love you."
the first time you said them.

and the lower case was fine
because it was still true
even at a whisper.

Polar

And I have never
Clung so hard
To anything

As I did to you
The day after.

Have Been

I have been loved
By good guys
And bad boys
And baby girls.

I have been
The good girl
The bad girl
The baby girl.

I have loved
And lost
And thrown away
And made mistakes.

But judgement doesn't
Change what happened.

There was love.
There is love.
