Jack 99
Nervousness of standing on the doorstep
Compromise, standing just inside
Despite invitation, I politely insisted that the evening ended there
Over days, weeks, months then years
Things developed with an increasing sense of inclusion
Shared excitement, shared passion, shared intimacy
A time of normality, a time of exceptions and shared acceptance
Times of accepted exceptional normality
Thick fluffy comforting summer clouds
Ever present, yet simultaneously, fleeting forms in clear blue skies
Each cloud framed with an unspoken silver lining
Progressive advancement of growth and expanding boundaries
Each box ticked forming stories, like the timeline rings of trees
An evening punctured with a 1 am call of planned reassurance
A weekend away concluded with being picked up from the station
Wardrobes of Narnia supposed secrecy behind supposed closed doors
In line with everything time runs its course
Clouds disappear forming memories and trees fall revealing their stories
And we are left with the wonder of it all
