hors d'oeuvre

Your greatness isn’t contingent on whether I sing your song, just as my significance is separate from your reaction. I do not cease being a woman in the absence of your presence.

I cannot censor my complication. And you cannot impede your youth. No matter what they say, you are beautiful in every way. Every detail and line. The best hors d'oeuvre I’ve been served in a very long time.

This is my gratitude.
