“You think that if I notice

you trying to change, my mind will

reconsider, and I will no longer

keep our love bottled up

in the pit of my sensitive stomach.

But you should know

that just because your hair

is a different color, doesn’t mean

that I am going to be coming back

anytime soon, and that you are

welcome to come inside whenever.

Because even when you are here,

I still feel as though I am looking in

the eyes of a stranger.

There are so many parts of you

that you’ve kept hidden.

Even the secrets that are

locked behind the doors

of your heart are scratching

at the walls, causing pain

just to see the light.

And I didn’t want to be

one of those secrets that you

would have ended up

just keeping inside of a drawer

on the inside of your mislead heart.

I wanted to be that one file

that was too noticeable to cover up.

I wanted our love to have

the ability to change

the permanent records.”
