I crease inwards like origami
inside this humid summer night
skin of sugar and sweat
feeling inevitable, waiting
I’m not ready to say goodbye
if only you could trace my smile
like an architect, uncover the splintered shape of the city we met in
entangled in my tendons and bones
I’d let you watch me destroy it all
I’d let you hold the end of me
as I hold the beginning

I crease inwards like origami
inside this humid summer night
skin of sugar and sweat
feeling inevitable, waiting
I’m not ready to say goodbye
if only you could trace my smile
like an architect, uncover the splintered shape of the city we met in
entangled in my tendons and bones
I’d let you watch me destroy it all
I’d let you hold the end of me
as I hold the beginning
About changing, and trusting someone to watch you change and be there for you. Change is vulnerable
