tell the inner kid in you she did well hiding, because the inner kid in me took a really long time to win our little hide and seek,
where she found her
and she took her from wherever she was hiding deep beneath parts of you you've forgotten
where she'll let her resurface
until a time where there won't be a her--
or a she-
but, only a you and me
so, tell the inner kid in you
to stop hiding
to stop going further down the moment she feels afraid
tell her there will always be fear,
at the same time there is love
and warmth
and souls waiting to collide
tell the inner kid in you, that I will always find her
and drag her out
and dissect her to bits and pieces until she becomes one with you
that I will always win this silly hide and seek, just as much as I always win our board games
tell her, that the inner kid in me longs her company
in exchange, I will tell you
constantly, without fail, that I will always find you too
and every part of you.
- and tell the current you that I love her.

clearing my notes, all the love I can no longer give and letters I can no longer send is turning to grief.
