I fell in love
in the in-between moments.

When you weren't trying
to convince me
When you weren't trying
to convince yourself

I fell in love
in those fleeting moments
when I got to see

But even the tiniest glimpse
of your bare naked soul

Thank you for destroying me
And I say it with the utmost sincerity
Thank you

For forcing me to walk through the rubble
inspecting brick by broken brick
recognising all the cracks in my foundation

Thank you for forcing me
to figure out all the reasons why
I had been so fragile in the first place
