It sang, and
Refused to be silenced.
It changed definitions
When I realized, stepping off that plane,
I left home in a city I barely knew
Months later –
Words, Light as feathers
Flew me 3,000 miles away
To a man I had grown to love
It is strong
When the space between us
Feels like a weight on my chest
It is pain
During empty nights
And endings to Rom-Com movies
It is bliss
And soaring
When my heart races and slows
It is brave
At the thought of one-way tickets
And the unknown
