"I hope you're doing okay"
Is all I want to say
I won't ask questions
Just send you videos of kittens

Because your smile is a sunrise
And when I see the flecks in your eyes
I get high. Is that selfish?
Probably

I hope you let yourself feel something
other than steel
Because I care for the full heart that's beating
under your warm metal skin

I hope you let me trust you
Because I do
I want to show you the dark that holds hands
with my light

I struggle, like you, like most
but you weaken my anxiety
Your laugh hugs my sadness
and caresses my bones with more light

Please, don't be afraid of me
Know that you can trust me
with the stormy nights
and fallen trees in your forest

Let me hug your sadness
caress your bones with light
I don't have much to spare
but for you, I'd share
