He humbles me
I can’t tell if I want to be him
or be with him
He inspires me
I wish that I had a decade to grow with him,
to explore his mind,
his soul
He embodies places in me
that I so often hide
I know him
The kindest thing I can do
is to be light,
to remain at a calculated distance,
to titrate the passion
so that we can enjoy each other
without destroying each other
I may have poured too much gin
on an empty stomach
I adore him
and and he is so far away
