A black queer experience
All Blues
All Blues

All Blues

You were always miles away

But you were always there;

Until you weren’t.

You were always miles away

Until Miles came on.

When Miles came on,

We had never been so close.

I felt you and we didn’t even touch.

We spoke with no words.

We loved through the miles

Because of Miles.

You were always miles away

But when I need to be close to you,

I know where to go.

When I remember you,

I remember all the blues.

I remember that you encouraged me to feel all the blues;

To feel every blue.

You were always miles away

But you are always right here;

Through the blues.

You are all the blue in me.

You are all the blues in me.

I am

Because

You were.
