I miss you, but my sunburn hurts, and sometimes when I close my eyes in the bright light colours glow orange behind my eyelids and I think of you and your hair

I would split in Mandarin for you, I would peel it delicately and make sure it is the ripest one in the bunch and I would carefully and tenderly pick off the pith for you and I delivered it to you on your favourite plate

I miss you, and I love you and nothing is really over the same anymore
