He will ask you for your name
Then say it back to you
In a voice like gravel and honey
He'll make the mornings a forgiveable thing
When you think of him a war will end
When he reminds you of his dark
You'll swallow his shadows whole
But when he leaves you
The birds in your blood will stop mid flight
And when you search for a word for the end of missing someone
Every language will come up empty
You'll make new mistakes to forget the old ones
Until one day you'll wake up missing who you were about to become before he came along
But by then it will be too late
The memories inside you won't leave room to remember your own name
