Dear Toby

Maybe you will tell me that you think I am "the one", and say beautiful things like "you are the sun", that I scatter prisms of light in your every direction And that all you are is a gleaming mirror reflecting all of my light, but only in boring halves of all your phases, much like the moon. But I will remind you how distant and cold I get, only half here and the other half hidden. You will reach for my hand and I will pull away from you and tell you that you've mistaken me for something else, That the light you thought you were reflecting was just you watching cinematic reels of yourself burning up as a flame on an infinite timeline, only visible through my eyes. I think you are the sun, walking around with half a brain.
