No Longer Alone
— Dedicated to the nights in Finsbury Park
In the dark of night,
Watching the houses clustered together outside,
Hearing the faint echoes of toasts ringing from somewhere—
I always thought I was alone.
The cold wind outside,
Threatening to extinguish the lamp in my room—
I always thought I was alone.
Watching the stars and the moon sharing their light,
I always thought I was alone.
Walking home by myself,
Seeing lovers holding hands as they pass—
I always thought I was alone.
But now, I am not.
Because you are here,
Reading these words of mine.
