Before he arrived
he was funny & flirting.
Two weeks before,
I was bloody and hurting.
My partner was lost
and was struggling the same.
We all nearly cancelled
because of our pain.
But we all arrived here
at that fateful hour.
We all deprived fear
of it’s hateful power.
We unguarded trust
and connected and shared.
Discarded and thrusted
past all we’d laid bare.
The same wavelength reached
unobscured by hostility.
We each found our strength
within vulnerability.
We all came together
and found more than just fun.
The best of both worlds
wrapped up into one.
