“I’m sorry for trying to love you
before I knew what I was doing

before I knew how to be wanted
in the light by another person
(…)

This is no longer an apology to you.
It’s one to myself.

for the times you said kissing me was
just friendly,
(…)
for the nights in your bed and the days
on the other side of the room,
for the years I thought it was romantic
to be a secret,
for the size of that closet.”

“Did you know that when a star implodes,
for a few days it can be brighter than an entire galaxy?
I still have light in my eyes for the way that you left me;
I still wait for my core to collapse like a black hole
and suck everything into it
when I meet someone else with your name.”

“There’s a constellation here called the Southern Cross that you can’t see from the United States mainland. Every part of my life has pieces of you in it but this one”
