Every interaction will change us.
Even as we sit together,
fixed across from one another
in what seems like eternal stillness—
we are two entities
hurtling through space
at a speed and distance ever-changing.
In our moments apart
we’ve had innumerable interactions
within our liminal space
that ding our way
in a different direction,
every step into illumination
a step into the darkness of the unknown.
We were never meant to stay
the same person that we are today.
To be forever discoverable.
We grow, we change
we eat apples and are here today
with the ability to see
to test
to challenge
to run and create
what in this moment
is unimaginable.
The only promise I can make,
is that I will never be quite the same.
