birthdays,
thunderstorms, new relationships,
flowers blooming,
last goodbyes,
tears,
kisses,
weddings,
leaves falling,
sun setting,

first hello’s,
deep laughs that make your eyes
water and your stomach hurt,
sun rising,

long hugs,
flowers withering,

learning self love,
a small orb in a vast
universe spinning
on its axis three hundred and sixty six times
and me
learning to live
without you.
