Songs for B

I felt the moment I met you I was done for.

Like two passing ships in the night, we hurtled into each other.

We could have died like that. Together in the water.

Instead, I played you a song about angler fish.

You had one tattooed on your arm and I was hooked on you.

You told me that you like it, but I expect now that probably wasn’t true.

Later when you were all I could think about, I sent you a song about Drew Berrymore

It wasn’t long before I was absolutely lost for you.

And I would wonder how I could live without you.

I’m not a perfect person by any stretch of the imagination and I was never a saint to you.

When I thought I might lose you and I made up in my mind that I would make it right.

I sent this to you and cried listening to it all night

I hope you know that I love you more now than ever before.

A first dance just for us two. I promise to sweep you away on the dance floor.

To let the world fall away around us and just dance.

Cheek to cheek and oh so close to you.

Finally, my love, there are all the songs I have yet to experience with you.

Songs that have not even been written, or found.

Songs you haven’t written for me yet.

Songs that we will dance to and sing to until we are old and grey.

Love songs we share and that make us proud to be gay
