"I Am Always Remembering..."

A dozen years have now come and gone and yet the sweetness of the moment of my truth is as present in my mind and heart as the breath in my lungs.  The wonder and the joy of meeting him and for the first time living my life in freedom is never forgotten... On this day, I began to live, I learned what love is.

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.

"Decade" by Amy Lowell

For Billy, if he wants it.
