❝ sometimes when i'm all flustered and nervous
the only thing that can calm me down
is a glass of ice water

i don't know how long it's been
since i first started doing this,

but now i realise
the cold that slips down my throat
and trickles from my chin

is only soothing
because it is a resemblance of you ❞
