Remember when I broke all the plates?
You said I'd put you back together.
I wasn't a pile of broken bits on the floor
but that was their impressions of me,
and I think it might last forever
but you have a mind that's always open
and so the world changes all the time
right before your eyes.
You are so far from them, you can see
so much further. Distance can surprise
when it is less being cast out to sea
and more a feeling of something like free.
I said I'd never give up on you,
Until you, I hadn't been giving
but when I drop words with that weight
they're as true as they can be absolutely.
