I deeply relate to this, as someone who had a fleeting but impactful friendship when I was younger. I really like how each line bleeds into the background -- in the past but still there, like a shadow.
I'm glad you could get these feelings out. Writing about someone can be an opportunity to distort the image of how they were, but now you have something to reference down the line. A snapshot of your feelings now that won't change.
i too, long for the ephemeral personhood that others seem to embody with ease. i hope we both get there some day.
i checked out your webbed site, and it was super cool! I like your crow story. i'm a big hazel fan as well, and her videos and music are major inspirations for my own creative outputs.

Deeply and painfully relatable, also as a (coincidentally) trans and Asian person.
Hurts in a personal way </3 thank you for making this.
