#never the same

The room was too bright too white too full of waiting

Time stretched thin monitors humming hands steady my heart louder than all of it

and then

a cry

not just a sound but a door kicked open inside my chest

They placed you in my arms like something sacred and impossibly small Seven pounds of forever ten fingers curled like you were already holding on

I had lived an entire life before that moment or so I thought

But when your eyes found mine clouded and new and unaware of gravity the world rearranged itself around your breathing

never the same

the air felt different heavier with promise lighter with fear every ordinary thing the clock ticking the nurse whispering the soft weight of a blanket became holy

I counted your fingers twice traced the curve of your ear as if memorizing a map I would need forever

You didn’t know what you had done to me how in a single breath you turned doubt into purpose turned “someday” into “now” turned me into someone braver

The world outside that room kept spinning cars passing people laughing storms rolling in

But inside everything stilled for the first time in my life

Never the same doesn’t mean broken it means remade

It means my heart now walks around outside my body with your name

and every step you take from this day forward will echo through me the first cry the first grip the first time you called me yours

The room was too bright too white too full of waiting

He’s so showstopping spectacular guys

You knew nothing would ever be the same

once you heard me say your name—

it was like lightning starting an eternal flame.

But you wanted to be here in the first place,

in the middle of the storm, feeling the rain hit your skin—

lying to yourself while running in circles for shelter,

yet your heart raced at the sound of thunder.

You knew I had shattered your walls like glass.

You knew what was coming next—

chasing a piece of me.

But still, you couldn’t help wanting to hear me

say your name once again—

because deep down,

THEY FIXATED ON HER FOR 2 ADVENTURING PARTY EPISODES!

INSANE.

ICONIC. I'M DEAD. MURDER ME AND BURY ME IN AN ORANGE TOP HAT PLS.
