In this episode of Modern Love, Anna Martin interviews Megan Falley, an award-winning poet and partner of the late Andrea Gibson, the Poet Laureate of Colorado, about her deeply moving love story with Andrea, which is the focus of a new documentary called "Come See Me in the Good Light." Megan shares intimate details about their relationship, from their first encounter and the unique ways they wooed each other as poets, to the challenges they faced during Andrea's battle with ovarian cancer. She discusses how their intimacy evolved in the face of illness, the importance of living in the present moment, and the profound impact Andrea's love and wisdom continue to have on her life after Andrea's passing. Megan also shares a touching story about a song Andrea wrote for her shortly before her death and recites a poem Andrea wrote called "Love Letter from the Afterlife."
