holy shit, i love you
you idiot, you dummy, you tender thing
the way time passes between us
like throwing flowers,
it showers us in sunlight
and forms a floral crown

you grin, i sigh;
light shines jade,
reflecting off your eyes

you do not mind
anybody’s envy
when you do not know them
and you are not intending to

i moved too fast
at first, when i was used to that
but with all this waiting
i turned into a scale wing

you see the future,
you’re scared that something always ends
i tell you softly:
not if you’re determined

_{^{/obj/item/love/mine
name = “Something Rare”
desc = “It emanates a strange but radiant light. Maybe you should reconsider?”}}

you say you know me
however, i disagree
i have not always been a truthful person

respectfully, and if no one minds me
i purposely put all of that behind me
the redlining of pointless rewinding
and hapless crying

half-hearted, committed to misunderstanding,
i’m planting my feet and sticking the landing
that man could be right if he weren’t so demanding—
he hates my new name? i’m sorry, it’s branding

but i’m handing in my distance;
better, turning in my pride, and
trading in the notions that i can’t abide

i no longer care if he says i lied
i am not even the one that he cast aside

i told you someday
i’ll tell you all you need to know
but between us,
words lately flow slowly,
sticky sap, sweet and gold in the moment
i’ve chosen
to speak through atonement;

you give me your actions,
i give you my progress

if you are acceptance,
then i am intention

and this is ascension
a perfect dimension
and our hearts are just something
we don’t need to mention
