Leaves From Zero

If you were ever, you are so now
To tiny habits and the way I view the moon
How could you?
I was just beginning to feel comfortable without needing any help

You lift my simmering thoughts and give them another opportunity and you let me love you

You do not question the gusts of my wind
It's your bravery, your leaves from zero
And you still let me love you

If you were ever, you are so now
My compass
My life
You have taken all of me in
and you illustrate the customary ways in which I can become more human

You loved my merriment and my chocolate-chip cookies
And then you stopped letting me love you

If you were ever, you are so now
My greatest miscalculation
