i don't know How to speak with clarity or perfect grace to ask questions when a space unfolds, awaiting to ask with my wrists and fingertips i wish i learned how to dance without my own placed restrictions, stumbling to say yes, when i mean yes to that drink, pulling in closer to you when you asked if i was cold, only to cry no i'm alright, thanks i'm alright, thanks i'm alright- no i'm not all right thanks for dinner and for walking me home, though i just wish we'd found it together last night just wished i knew my own footing before collapsing into anyone's bed

dear tien,
i don't know How to speak with clarity or perfect grace to ask questions when a space unfolds, awaiting to ask with my wrists and fingertips i wish i learned how to dance without my own placed restrictions, stumbling to say yes, when i mean yes to that drink, pulling in closer to you when you asked if i was cold, only to cry no i'm alright, thanks i'm alright, thanks i'm alright- no i'm not all right thanks for dinner and for walking me home, though i just wish we'd found it together last night just wished i knew my own footing before collapsing into anyone's bed
