I think of the first time we met
You thought I would be smaller
And I felt like I absorbed the sea
Like a planet spinning in orbit
And my heart fractured a little
Because it leapt from your lips
And attached to my soft soul

It's lingered long since
Both our roads forked
Sitting on my spinal cord
Tapping on my shoulders

I always wanted to be loved
Held as though I was a feather
Glanced at like I had worth
I had it all in my palm but
For reasons it disappeared
Like your name in my phone
Your words are still with me

And they will chear me on
In this time of transformation
Soon I'll glance in the mirror
And I'll bear a **** eating grin

Because you won't recognize me
