I had once wished there were stories and poems
written just for us
about us
I had wished there were paintings and things that people drew
depicting our lives
our hopes and dreams too
So that I could marvel at them
Marvel at what others saw in us
Embrace our being
Soak my soul in our story
Future and past
Then one day I realized...
I could write those poems
I could create a world for myself to sit in
Just for me
Where our lives fit in
Hand in hand
and I could write the story of us
just for us
And it made me happy.
