It's going to hit you below the belt. โ€ฉ
You're going to reach for the โ€ฉclosest stand-in lover you can โ€ฉfind
& you're going to make โ€ฉa home in their body
& โ€ฉyou're going to pretend your โ€ฉchildhood memories are hung โ€ฉin his chest
& you skinned your knee โ€ฉtripping over the curve of his arm โ€ฉ
& you have always been here. โž
