I was alone
But for the first time, I didn’t feel like it
Nature was my company
I woke up with the chirps of birds
I slept with the swish of the wind
Nature was my company
For the first time
I sang with the birds
I danced with the trees
Whispered to the mirror
I have learned, things that really mattered
I felt my skin, every inch, all my body
And my breath, every single one
For the first time
I contemplated it all, all my grief
Grief, I never talked about
I cried my heart out
I talked with the moon
I laughed with the stars
And kissed the sunset
For the first time
I was alone
But I never felt like it.
