Can’t [can]

An inevitable ending

it’s winter

I remember how the ice looked, so so still

Felt like the moment was ours, stood still with the entire world

somewhere else

Had that naïve energy and hope of youth

making specks of time into infinite horizons

You on a pedestal so so high

me just churning trying to bring two gems together

into

one

Photos stuck into the frame of a mirror

curling from the sun

fading ever so slowly

I took them down

had to

But this only made me see me easier

which I didn’t want

I didn’t want to sit still, alone with my breath + hopes + fears

Wanted to fast-track rewind, skip the ads

relive that moment

relive that hope

relive that energy
