I was thinking about friendships and relationships and how I gravitate to those who aren’t afraid to carry light into the deepest darks. Those who aren’t afraid of tears. Who help you back up when you have no strength left. People who help you fight the lies and hunt for truth.

I fell in love with a man

Who carries a torch

That turned out to be

More like a magic wand

I discovered things

About myself

I’d never have seen

Had he not braved

My darkest dark with me
