dream breathing breathe
I am breathing. In dreams, we never bother to breathe.
heart thinking hands
We hold hands as we walk through town. If anybody notices, nobody cares. I know we all like to think of the heart as the center of the body but at this moment, every conscious part of me is in the hand that he holds. It is through that hand, that feeling, that I experience everything else.
long unsure
After working for so long on being sure of each other, sure of this thing, suddenly we were unsure again.
moments feels
It was one of those moments when you feel the future so much that it humbles the present.
lying people phrases
What a strange phrase — –not seeing other people. As if it’s been constructed to be a lie. We see other people all the time. The question is what we do about it.
strong want littles
stanchion, n. I don't want to be the strong one, but I don't want to be the weak one either. Why does it feel like it's always one or the other? When we embrace, one of us is always holding the other a little tighter.
mean talking games
I am so used to hints and mixed messages, saying things that might mean what they sort of sound like they mean. Games and contests, roles and rituals, talking in twelve languages at once so the true words won't be so obvious. I am not used to a plainspoken, honest truth.
self preservation ifs
Self-preservation isn't worth it if you can't live with the self you're preserving
lovers wanted
For I have never wanted a lover, but I have always wanted to love, and to be loved.
Do I really have to find a word for it? Can't it just be what it is?
balls feels seems
And just like that, the universe goes wrong. Just like that, all the enormity seems to shrink into a ball and float away from my reach. I feel it, and she doesn't. Or I feel it, and she won't.
bye missing good-bye
I say good-bye to the part of myself that misses him so much.
awkward possibility
It was rather awkward, insofar as we were both teetering between the possibility of something and the possibility of nothing.
needs courses
this is what i never allowed myself to need. and of course what i've been needing all along.
