"I’ve been lonely for a long time now,
hoping anyone who I perceive as better than me
will scoop me up on a night kite rescue mission
and love me so hard
that I can finally forget about this feeling
left over from all the years my blood was boiling.
Dear Gravel, it doesn’t work like that.
If anyone ever loves you that hard,
hard as you’ve been dreaming,
chances are you will not believe them
until you accept yourself."
