Facing Forward

How can I possibly
string together the words
to describe each moment
perfectly?

How can I relay to you
the meaning of each meeting,
when I can't get the words
out of my throat?

How can I ever say goodbye,
if I can't explain the hellos?

I wrote this poem three years ago, almost to the day. I didn't realize then how much the words would mean to me in the future. I've been trying lately not to make excuses, to live my life without apologizing for who I am. And yet, I still find myself struggling to explain all of my hellos, but I'm trying.
