i. when I speak, I have the feeling my I's come out small.
it makes me think I'm talking about someone else.
you broke that allusion by saying,
'I'm hearing you.'
ii. I admit, I had made a haven for myself
out of lens that covered the truth.
they were colorless,
emotionless,
like me.
so how did you find a way
to get in my retinas?
or was I blind?
iii. you had everything I wanted,
and you were willing to give.
how did I deal with that?
I pushed you away.
just when I was falling in love.
I hope you don't spill your eyes for me.
