echoes in the cave, 8
you’re thinking of me,
even now.
you’re seeing me,
especially now.
you’re hearing me,
always, and now.
you hold my gaze,
even when my eyes weak.
you lift my head,
even when i can’t hold it up.
you are gentle with me,
even when i can’t feel.
you’re with me,
face to face,
even now,
unreal.
