You slipped into my heart
and turned it inside out
to show me what I loved
and it wasn't you
and that was ok
because you weren't real
and so I knew
that all you wanted
was for me to know myself
and maybe you had had
your heart turned inside out too
maybe we were both born like that
and so you knew me
because our hearts beat the same way
not toward each other
but side by side.
So thank you for your hands
on my heart
pushing gently in
the other direction
