This is is an ode to my past partners To those I let climb inside my body To the women I loved Your hands roamed my body and skin Your lips like those of a voyagers with every whisper and caress was a new world On every new island was a new feeling a new sensation a new part of me I had yet to know To the men I loved You plucked my rose from the earth you turned me into a beautiful bouquet of flowers and with every flower was a new thought a new emotion a new reality To those I loved I did not love you for no reason I did not waste my time in the classrooms you called relationships because in each of these was a new lover a new me a new heartbreak yet because of you I became stronger and greater than before. To those I have yet to know I will not always be happy I will not always have the answer but I will always have my humor To those I have yet to love you are not ready for the new things we will endure but I promise it will all be worth it worth it to find the new smiles the new friendships the new eachother
