Had I always known from the moment my eyes 

opened to this world that I was born to 

be yours? Years of time lingering through 

the summers and the springs saving seasons 

for you? Words my lips learned and formed 

from thoughts of ease in mind always belonged 

to you? My heart, asleep and quiet while 

others danced about was merely waiting for you? 

This body, a growing shell existing from day 

to day now coming alive for you? A soul with 

folded wings resting in the darkeness 

for you to teach flight?
