"I Am Always Remembering..."

Today, I remembered someone who will always have a place in my heart.  I met him nine years ago today and meeting him was the beginning of finding the courage to accept the truth of my heart.  His name was Billy.

When you came, you were like red wine and honey,

And the taste of you burnt my mouth with its sweetness.

Now you are like morning bread,

Smooth and pleasant.

I hardly taste you at all for I know your savour,

But I am completely nourished.

by Amy Lowell

For Billy, if he wants it.
