and you built a cage,
and handed me the keys,
you swam oceans
while i loathed the sea.
and when i built a wall
you grabbed a sledge hammer
and smashed it until
i let you love me.
and i was colour blind,
but you helped me
memorise your tan skin
and brown eyes.
and i was deaf
but the way you called me,
"baby"
will always be heard.
and i was paralysed
but you pulled me back on to my feet
and taught me how to dance
to the rhythm of your heartbeat.
you held a universe in your palms;
you mended a fragile heart;
you captured an essence;
you captivated me.
you; h.k
