were not meant to be. I wish
to be lucky, enough
for the red I am wearing.
For random() to
always return me
to you. To be formless, genreless.
Miscellaneous
always. To be willingly
categorized. I give you
consent to filter for me in
search for the message that made your
home online. To be a factory of
permissions. Maybe it isn’t so bad
to keep lost sites in our hearts.
To be a stronger vessel for my heart.
To be kept.
