I had a dream last night. you were on a hill holding your tummy like you always do
with long hair and dirty clothes and smiling waiting for me to come up to you and you
were next to someone who can't stand the way you are now and then you became
that new person but i could swear you were still the old person and i'd meet you
in the backyard at your going away party and everyone would hold their breathe
to what you would yell when you saw me or when i would start crying but instead you'd run to me,
you'd hold me, you'd put my breasts against you, and we'd scream and then we'd both cry and everyone one who was hoping this would happen, or never would happen, would exhale, and then the next day
you'd get on an airplane but right before you left we'd meet up at 4am at a playground
and say sorry sorry sorry a million times and know that everything was going to be just
fine as we tried to save the world and we understood and we had many personalities
and charaters that were birthed within each other and it was love and and it
was true and we loved loved loved loved loved the world and we still do.
