We sat in that cafe
And I poured my heart out
And told you my greatest fears
I told you about what my heart aches for
as I painted my perception of the world to you
And you told me yours,
And you cracked a modest smile
And told me that I was a warrior,
I smiled back
And took your advice
as I listened on as you shared your words,
We carried on sipping our hot drinks on that rainy winter day
as we shared our poetry and fragments of personal and made-up stories
As we do from time to time,
exchanging our thoughts and ideas
In this sacred space where everything goes and all is valid and worthy of critique
Where concepts flourish as they burn radical change through unturned pages
The uplifting and enlivening moments
Are the ones we must keep
And hold onto forever
To help us learn and grow
Love this too. So good and so touching. xx
