when i asked you to take me away from
myself you only asked how,
and didn’t sigh like the others
or turn away from me faster than the tide pulls back
from a reluctant shore
i don’t know why i kept coming back
but i’m glad i did and
you didn’t know either but
you accepted me anyways
and eventually grew in my direction
it’s a mystery i’ll never solve why you’re as precious as you are
i will tend to the flower of you
as long as my joints will glide
above our heads the sky is lit up
and it never goes dark
like my mind that is always thinking of you
even at night when the stars come out
my dreams tense up when you appear
