1 [I thought]
Spent one night
we watched the stars.
arms length I gazed,
amazed,
grateful.
I talked with you
And I bared my soul.
On the floor
You shared some of yours.
I guess you taught me about loss
in more than one way.
You left at dusk
the day after.
Alone–
overgrown,
You left
me here.
I thought
we could try
To make a life–
To make a home.[1]
