maybe we dip our toes in the ocean and listen as it whispers its secrets. maybe we watch as the leaves change colour, as the flowers raise their weary heads and bloom where the sun shines brightest. maybe we smile as the clouds drift by, soft and white and ephemeral. and maybe we struggle against the tide of society, the blanket that threatens to muffle us, as if that will erase who we are. maybe we slip for a second and imagine that forbidden happiness in another family, another world, another life. maybe we dream of being free, even just for a breath of a moment, to be unabashedly unafraid of what we look like, what we believe in, who we love.but we have each other, and your hand in mine is enough to remind me that, at least, we are not alone.◦ ~ ◦ ~ ◦ ~ ◦First place for Best Title in The Hibiscus Mini Awards 2022!◦ ~ ◦ ~ ◦ ~ ◦8/12/22: #39 - poetry◦ ~ ◦ ~ ◦ ~ ◦This is an original work by me.
