firstlove
firstlove,
you defined my late nights
left me smiling at the stars as they burned,
became cacaphony and the void before our eyes.
you sang me new galaxies with your tiny silver paintbrush
and my hands were virtuosos at your touch.
firstlove,
when the sun bludgeoned me awake
I thought of you and life became our saffron tapestry
our threads, redolent of phone calls at midnight
and falling asleep as you told me you would never leave.
firstlove,
without you I am not broken
I am endless and delirious and so,
so
grateful you chose me.
