i think
if it all burned out tomorrow
if i woke up empty
like a room after a party
cups tipped over
music gone
i’d still say it was worth it
because there was a moment
or maybe a hundred
where i forgot how to be careful
where i let myself
lean all the way in
like falling
and not checking if there was ground
you were there
not saving me
not stopping me
just… there
and i lost something
maybe my balance
maybe my sense
maybe the version of me
that always knew how to leave
but i gained that feeling
that sharp, stupid, beautiful thing
of wanting someone
without editing it down
even if this ends
quietly
like everything does
even if we just become
two people
who once knew how to say each other’s names
like they meant something
i’ll remember
not the ending
but the way it cracked me open
the way i stopped measuring
and just felt it
and if i fade
a little because of that
fine
i’d rather be
a little ruined
and real
than untouched
and wondering
what it would’ve been like
to lose my mind
for someone
like you
