I've always loved you
With four words you fold me
Origami-style creases lining my heart
It was laughably inevitable
Dotted lines marked out a roadmap
A transaction between the second and third dimension
It was your hands
The way they guided the paper
Taught it how to make itself anew
And your stunning smile
Quirked up at the corners as you worked
Bringing life back to a forest long silenced
Those eyes made promises
To show my skin the same kindness
As you remind me to find new potential
I've always loved you
When you were paper-thin
And when you forgot what that was like

Standing Still
There are very few moments in life where time truly stands still. When your breath is taken from your chest and your body hangs weightless in that moment. Just long enough for it to stay with you from that day onwards. Deep in the red sands of the Australian Outback, I found that moment and clung to it forever.
