how i know you are my favorite person

  ...and i will grow
and drop all my plans
for a chance to see you
no longer

i will care for myself
and find stability in change
to spite this 'consistency'
i've never known

you are a river
and i am a raindrop
you are my favorite
but i'm just me

because the world
once revolved around you:
everyone there wanted you
but not me. (i needed you)

i am a linguist
and you are an artist
we are eating tofu
on my kitchen floor

things will change
and when they do,
i'll mourn what's past
no more.

when i awake
the last thing i'll check
is my phone
...
