if I didn't believe in hope, I would have never taken the risk

I liked the sound of the ground under my boots

It took me some time,
in between all of it
I didn't waste my life
but every step of it
I didn't forget

Fuck me, It took some time―
in between all of it
I missed the wrinkles
of the smiles I had left
those photos crinkled
and memory―

    they walk for miles at sunset

It took me some time,
and between all of it
I still see your light

magnolia porcelain bright

and nothing in between
hides it from sight.
