Honey Bee

May 11, 2023

(For Denali, my honey bee)

On a night like any other
filled with chaos, anxiety and fear
I heard your beautiful voice
and those stormy skies began to clear
You became a light in my dark world
A rainbow ray of lovely sunshine
We helped each other through life
Our bond growing stronger with time
You showed me that I was sparkling and kind
not creepy, broken, or strange
Then one night in a movie theater parking lot
We both admitted that our feelings had changed

The foundation we built is strong and sturdy
Our love for one another unwavering
Every time I hold you in my arms
I can feel all my anxieties fading
It’s true when I say that I love you
More than the sun and the moon and the stars
No matter what mistakes you’ve made in the past
Because you overcame them to become who you are
Hand in hand, we’ll face life together
For you, my love, I’ll be the best I can be
Because you deserve the very best of life
Don’t ever forget that, my beautiful honey bee

Now we’re gazing at each other
with so much love in our eyes
We can’t deny that we’re in love
just listen to our sighs
The road is bumpy, twisting and turning
full of pain, hardship, and loss
But building this bond with you
I know it’s all been worth the cost
You helped me to grow and blossom
A beautiful flower for all to see
That’s why I’ll be here for you always
with a love as sweet as honey

It’s enough just to be with you
Sitting close, listening to a love song
You fill my heart with such joy
For you, I could write poetry all day long
You make me feel loved and seen
respected, valued, and heard
I can’t stop smiling and dancing
I guess I’m just your big gay nerd
The future’s dark and unknown, but
I know in my heart we’ll be okay, for you see
I will always be your loving flower
And you will always be my beautiful honey bee
