Things you have given me:
philosophy,
poetry: yours & now my own,
beauty,
new forms of expression,
stolen flowers you twined in your hair,
a sense of self,
music,
violent dance moves: whirling & falling,
trodden on toes,
bountiful books & looks,
new loves,
secrets,
your grace,
mornings without the rough edge,
a voice,
meaning.
