loved

I loved

before

before
I met you
her him or her

I loved
I was loved

I saw stars
in my dreams
while young enough

I thought
songs
could come true

now

a little more rounded
on the edges
they have

I found dreams
and they grew

grew into
two new lives
that never were before

they look out
with slants i've installed
and their own free balance

they look to me
for the way forward
and I give what I can

I loved
when I was alone
and I love
now loved
