The Lover
You fell from a perfect chorus, a lonely soul trying to find
something to belong to again. All that remains is the heart
beating in your chest, full of love and starving for more. You
take your refuge in the arms of others, and you know the real
thing is out there, waiting.

We’re not alone, for better or worse; the world is full of people,
all with their own heartbreaks and victories and vivid colors. To
be an angel among the flock is strange, humbling… and to not
be alone, for the first time.
It’s the hardest thing in the world to reach out.

a celebration of our differences, to prove we were here, stories
to trade, family, to create something new, forgiveness, voices
to sing alongside, to make an impact

need them.
