i look for myself, in you
as you’re suspended in air
your first sight
your promises of forever
your blindness
your difficulty
i’m convinced,
you’re the answer
to my fear of hating
and destruction
so i fell in love
with the first boy that turned and looked
with the pink that made me a girl
with debates that made me heard
with all the books i could never read
with the english that taunted
with her, and the jokes she made
i wonder
why you were so good to me
when all i did
was use you
as a getaway
you defined me
beyond what this
world has assigned for me
maybe there’ll come a day
when you’ll love me less
and i’ll love more
