Though you no longer part of my routine
Your cyan capsules of hope and possibility
Colored so much of the time we had together
The wonder you wrought upon me 
I still cling to as one might cling to a tide receding 

But the body asked as one's body may
To choose between Memories or Estrogen 
How can one love who they were becoming
If they forgot whom they had been

Like a tender thief, I steal you from my memories
Hang your moments, proudly in a place of honor 
In my gallery of Life and my Mind

I choose the secret third choice
And now, I pursue in Her honour

To make a world in which She would have thrived
