Challenge
If a friend or loved one were to come out as gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender/etc. to you, what can you say to let them know they are loved and supported by you?
Instant
They say, they say: love at first sight. Or,
My eyes met yours and I knew that home could wrap me in their arms. Or,
Your touch was lightning and my heart thunder and we were a storm I didn’t think I’d weather. Or,
Bodies, much like moons and planets and hot stars, have their own gravitational pull.
Or,
love is not a decision. Love is an instant, a flash of time where two strings are irreparably knotted.
It’s
a bit of you recognizing a bit of them and saying,
there you are,
I’ve found you.
Always
unquantifiable:
no one can devalue a love that
had no boundaries
in the first place.
