But what I should have said was...

You scare me. You scare me because I'm discovering your secrets while simultaneously feeling like I've known you forever. You scare me because I want to tell you everything and anything and nothing all at the same time. You scare me because I want so badly to be known by you.. and you scare me because you have the potential to make me happy but you're more likely to break my heart. You're too big a risk... and you make me speechless.

lack of music here

We drive along careless roads. I feel empowered - in part because riding in this truck makes me feel tall. And in part because riding next to you makes me feel high. I smile a secret to myself, letting it seep slowly into the darker places. For once, I feel this is something good. And now I smile for you. ...and you smile back.

lack of feeling

monday nights, there's a club downstairs. the bass booms through the floorboards and the people laugh and laugh and laugh. but i curl up in my feathers and clothes and use the beat to drown out the noise. it's chaos. it's chaos. and it's welcome.

Lately

There's salt on everything I own
And my eyes are tired with the effort

whenever

i still sleep in your old t-shirt
its the only thing about you i still recognize
