Across an year
I knew nothing about you
I still do not
All I know is
No one after a dead dad
Made me have a sense of belonging
The way you did
With a kind spontaneity
The way you helped
In a moment of need
Though never acknowledged
It was just your presence
That made my decision
My choice.
If only you knew
How much you mean to me
If only you knew
How much I treasure every
Momentary togetherness
If giving in to life
Could be termed defeat
Then perhaps you did me
By breaking years of frozen silence
By breaking through an aloneness unquestioned
By reaching out into my world
For the first time
Perhaps you were the only one
To succeed
In shifting me from books, pens, pets
To a dream I had forgotten to dream.
