Crease by crease Line by line Day by day I built character, I got older, a little more tattered by the stipulations of life Time passed and I changed. I met you My shade of white seemed to brighten that day, you weaved through every crease and smudge on me, dissecting the defining moments of my life You loved them all, you loved the imperfection of me, and for that i told you how the imperfections came to be You touched me without laying a finger on my body You lit a fire inside of me that has embers still glowing hot And I know it's inevitable that this can't last forever I just hope it outlasts me- but if not- it's beautiful if just for a moment. Because I'm paper, no matter who tries to flatten me out and smooth me straight, they'll see the ways you touched me, I'll never be the same.
