A year ago
Can you believe?
Already a year has passed
I survived the turmoil and trauma
A pain I cannot even begin to fathom today
For that, I am stronger
A summer ago
I had sworn you off
You came back
Can you believe?
I was filled with caution and fear and light
A friend had returned
For that, I am kinder
A season ago
The leaves were falling as was I
Can you believe?
I understood the capacity of what I feel for you
A capacity I cannot even fathom today
For that, I am lighter
A month ago
Can you believe?
Already a month has passed
I grew in the love and warmth you interlaced between our fingers
I was filled with laughter and comfort
For that, I am happier

A pain I cannot even begin to fathom today
For that, I am stronger

I was filled with caution and fear and light

For that, I am kinder

The leaves were falling as was I
Can you believe?
I understood the capacity of what I feel for you
A capacity I cannot even fathom today
For that, I am lighter
A month ago
Can you believe?
Already a month has passed
I grew in the love and warmth you interlaced between our fingers
I was filled with laughter and comfort
For that, I am happier
