The beginning of forever looks different, when you already have 23 years together under your belt: a rear view mirror summary from 75 people who knew you when you were all still children, a lifetime built by a village of love. Inredulous reunions after decades apart, faces older but minds and hearts the same, you recognize your self in their eyes, remember who you are based on who you were and how far you've come. By the time dawn arrives, the last few stragglers sit by the water with half drunk bottles of wine, with half spoken sounds of truth. He looks at you and says, I will wait however long it takes, and you don't know how to explain that time is different when you are free.
Realize that your freedom is worth more than any other promises,
even love.
It took you a long time to get here.
You will not leave unless you can bring it with you
where you go.
