I was always yours to have. You were always mine. We have loved each other in and out of time. When the first stone looked up at the blazing sun. and the first tree struggled up from the forest floor. I had always loved you more. You freed your braids... gave your hair to the breeze. It hummed like a hive of honey bees.
