Before

Poetry by | February 28, 2016

Before
we had the words
We had the
letters
To speak,
to devour
To learn,
to earn
Before we
had the world
We had each other
To say those
words
to speak,
to devour
To earn each other
Before we had
Justin Bieber
We had
Shakespeare
To tell us to love ourselves
Away
from vanity
And so before
We had
each other
I had
mine
Before we had the
city lights
We had the
stars
To umbrella us
From the falling
dreams
feelings
And before we forget
Before we have
tomorrow
We had this
night
to speak the
words
to dance with
the city lights
to be with
ourselves
to be with
love
to devour,
to earn,
to learn
Once again
before
