the swan part 2

kid,

i wish i could put you in a bottle,

so i could remember the things you say,

the expression on your face when you are being funny,

your sincerity

the easiness, the comfortableness, the naturalness

that i feel when i talk to you.

kid,

you sparkle.

and if i had you in a bottle,

on days when i stop believing that people like you exist,

and even worse on days when i'm so far removed from being with people like you that i've forgotten what sparkling even is,

then i can pull you out,

sit with you for an hour,

and be on my way to find my own sparkling someone.
