To all the men I have loved before
Through every storm
Even passed our midnight when your love had shown It’s worn
And I kept a vigil
A shining lighthouse signaling our love
When impending danger would have shipwrecked us at the tide of life
I have walked these many miles
Travelled alone without you
Knowing at the fringes of my heart the love I always knew
Undeterred and free from detour, I carry it’s weight still
Not so much hoping at your end it be fulfilled
But rather desiring that my love stand as a testament true
Consistently steady and waving
Ready and anew
Like a flag and bastion of a forgotten era where love had honor still
And stood the test of time and every pressing peril
Such a love continues within me
Holding fast and still very free
Right along my journey now, where at passenger pace it rides
Where underneath it drives
And keeps me open to the present, enjoying its gift
Of love outward and abounding with winds and wing to lift
No distance, nor time, circumstance nor choice has changed my love at all
For it’s bounty cannot spoil and my limbs underneath shall never fall
Nor can the weight of tears I shed when losing you
Bring an end to my love of forever loving you
