A Letter to Letter B

"to be used to it"

is scarier to imagine

hold me

even just a little

even if it's just 

the tip of my finger,

hold me

please stay at my side

please don't let go

of this version of me,

of the version

that is touching your hand

if you step away for a minute

please let me follow on

please look at me

but if you look elsewhere,

I'll be used to it
