May you find peace
As you fall to pieces;
May you find light
In your darkest nights;
I wish for you the love you
Show in your sweetness;
And I wish the world might
Learn of your greatness.
You are a diamond
Still covered in soot,
Yet I see the gleam that
Gives way to the truth.
If I acted selfishly, I might
Chain you around my neck
But that would be a crime,
And serve as a tragic mistake;
Instead, I’ll leave you, free
As I watch from afar,
Mesmerized in your gift
That you share with everything,
In the simplest form
Of a smile.

I'd rather keep you safe
Than steal you.

I am the asymptote.
You are the curve.
This is the closest, and
farthest I'll ever be. With you
my life has been more than a system
of following rules and norms.
No matter how close or far we become,
you'll be charted in my mind forever --
Pictures, messages, letters, drawings, gifts, glances, smiles, laughter, and
memories. I'll always cherish
this part of my life, and
I'll never forget you, and
this imaginary  us.

I am the asymptote; you are the curve.
One day, maybe,
we'll bend the rules, and
defy gravity.
Come with me, and
let's head towards infinity
