A Year and a Day ago,
I had friends, and a brother
but did not have
a lover

A Year and a Day ago,
I was living with a cat and a roommate
but what was missing
was my soulmate
I still felt alone
wandering through my life
wondering who would be
by my side
to walk through this life
Hand-in-hand
who could understand
me
and all I was 
and all I wanted to be.

A Year and a Day ago,
I was living without a father
nor was I
to any other

A Year and a Day ago,
I was a son
but as for children
I had none
I did not have a family of my own
I had a mother and a brother
but had no one to raise
as my own
and pass on part of me
no one to teach
and swig around
and help brush teeth
no one to pick up 
when they fall down
and tickle
and turn upside-down.

A Year and a Day ago,
My life was very different
and very much the same 
before you came

A Year and a Day ago,
I heard your voice
and maybe had a new friend
and then…

A Year and a Day Ago
We met each other
and you felt
like none other
I saw you and you saw me
and something felt like home
like we were no longer alone
a friend and a lover
a companion and soulmate
two paths merging
now with only one to create.

A Year and a Day Ago
We met each other
and everything changed
Everything changed
all because of you
entering 
my life
and
my heart
and creating 
together
a new home

I love you
for all you are
for all you have been
and all we will be
together.
