Love Anyway

I imagine before Bro and I came to be, he and I would talk.

He told me I would buy him for a dollar, because I didn’t have a million bucks.

I imagine he told me that I would have a choice…

To ask him to give his all to me,

Or to truly know his voice.

I imagine he kept a surprise,

All the people who’d change our lives.

I imagine he told me how sweet it was going to be, The day we said goodbye.

I saw in him such strength,

When all I could do was cry.

I Imagine he knew it would be hard,

To keep my heart open through the “why’s.”

So on the wind he’d return,

 Upon the wings of blue butterflies.

And I would soon remember,

 The contract we had before we came.

That there will be great loss,

And I’d learn to love anyway.

And now that he reminds me,

That no one is ever lost,

My heart has so much gratitude,

That our journey came with costs.
