#vulnerabilityinlove
There’s a girl who mirrors my every move—    it makes me afraid of my own reflection. And if I’m biting time,   then please— _serve me a couple seconds_. I should’ve loved you better, much earlier…   so I’ll be with you in a second. Let me shield my eyes— watching you put on your armour, decorating your smile,  you’re a mouthful of colour. A love picked from the bunch,   too rare not to treat like a flower. First as a friend, protective as kin— even when your salty remarks  mistake pamper for _pepper_. _Your attraction_? In mint condition—      a treat like a peppermint. My skin’s a little tinted, my cries tilt a little sideways— __these long-ass messages__    just to keep you from trailing behind. Smiling beside you, you give me food   for thought, and a kind word on the side. It’s hard to find the genuinely kind.       _But you_? You’re a rare kind— the kind I’d hold on to, if only I knew how.

Reflected Kind
In Warsaw’s heart, I step inside, Old memories rush, I can’t hide. "My love," she smiles, "I’m glad you're here," But I sigh, "I wish it were mine, my dear." The street outside, through glass so dim, I step out, the world feels grim. A crash - glass falls, she calls my name, "All’s well," I say, through bleeding pain. Her smile stays, my love remains.
