You're a fascinating aspect of me
They say we are made from the sum of people we know
And if you are part of that sum, you are part of some odd Fibonacci spiral of my life
You come back over and over again at different points
The same, but different
And it's this weird evolution of who we were at the start versus the entirely different people we are now
Back when I was scared and angry at everything in the world
Back when you tried to tell me the things the world had to offer
Now, when I'm still scared but maybe less angry
Now, when you want to offer the world rather than it offer you
But at each point of the spiral, you are there
Less like a ghost, haunting me
More like the familiar creak of the stairs in the middle of the night
Same stair, different creak
Same name, different person
Same spiral, different point
