This selection, chosen by guest editor Sierra Farrare, is from Letters to Myself by Alexandra Mireanu.
When I say I love you
its because it’s true
when you let me in and let me hold you
I am home
and no matter where I go
there’s no place as wonderful as this
knowing my touch
my embrace
has captured your world
