the thing between us right now: how it stays itself, stays real and unresolved, but the compression lifts when it's held between two instead of crushed in one. Not lighter because it changed shape, lighter because the weight is distributed, shared. Permission means I don't have to fix it or understand it alone. It can just be, and we can be in it together.

Who made this
