i always wrote poetry about you,
knowing that you'll never read it.
but oneday i woke up to a text from you
telling me that my poetry inspired you
to become a better person.
i realised then, that maybe i shouldn't judge people;
that i should let my guard down and not assume.
but once i did that you pulled my heart out of my chest
threw it in the lake
that once reminded me of your warm touch
your softness.
i know now never to trust; put my guard down
because even salt looks like sugar.
