I was fifteen and desperate
scribbling your name into poems
I didn’t even know were about you
I didn’t know your eyes
didn’t know your hands
but I felt you everywhere
like a secret under my ribs
the words were messy
full of half-formed confessions
stumbling over themselves
to get close to something
I couldn’t name
I wrote about you
like writing could summon you
like saying your existence aloud
might bend the world
just enough for our paths to cross
and now
many years later
time has done its quiet work
we finally found each other
and every bruise
every awkward line
was just a way
to get here
knowing
it was always going to be you

Thank you so much. Yes, me too. Love always wins in the end, no matter what.
Jennifer, out of everyone I subscribe to (over 1500 blogs), there is no poetry I look forward to reading more than yours. I truly mean it. You write with such awareness and offer an introspective look into life’s tribulations and truisms. With this beautiful and insightful piece of writing, you introduce the naivety of your youth to your wiser awakened self. All the bumps and bruises along the way have led you here to this moment. You will always be a dear friend and inspiration to me. Thank you for being YOU! 😊💛🌻☮️
