Dear space boy,
We met in innocent times
yet you brought nothing
but confusion into my life
You patronized me
You disturbed me
It took time to heal
Now you're just a brief note
in my book of life

Hello America,
You brought a fresh sense
of what bonding can be
into my world
We had many bridges to cross
and stones thrown in our path
Time was not right, time was not ours
Yet a gentle memory remained

Dear China,
I didn't see through the limitations
you'd placed on our love from the start
Being one of two, being one to many
Never being truly what we sought
We shared times of
passion and lust,
pain and mistrust
But that ain't
a foundation of love
So I had to move on.

My soulmate,
we had been hurt before
Never did I think I would find
a lover, a best friend
All in just one man
I will love you til
my heart misses its beat
Day in day out, feel proud
Stick through thick and thin
Share each day and night

My beloved
All of you fill a chapter in my life
Each new love brought me closer
to understanding myself.
You caused me pain
as I may have you
But time heals and
anger vanishes
And all that remains
is a reflection
of the learning years
in this river of life.
