Engagement

Making Room (masculine)

When I first met him,
I knew in a moment
I would have to spend
the next few days
re-arranging my mind
so there’d be room
for him to stay.

Making Room (Feminine)

I knew in a moment
I would have to spend
the next few days
re-arranging my mind
so there’d be room
for her to stay.

Fine Start

Beginning

he followed the sun & she followed the stars & in dreams they listened closely for the beginning of all things, for that was where they knew they’d find each other
