Under the warm light, your skin seems to have caramelized.

Words are also like being wrapped in a candy coating.

I am kind. (That’s not what I meant.)

That’s not what I meant. (I am kind.)

I am waiting without expectation.

You open your mouth and then

Release the shapes of the words that linger at your lips.

I am here to save you. (I hope to be saved by you.)

I hope to be saved by you. (I am here to save you.)
