“It’s not about getting naked anymore or trying to watch the sunset. It’s about grasping onto someone that won’t move when you tell them how you really feel or what happens when you are alone with the sound of the fan above your head. It’s not even about holding hands anymore, it’s about being able to talk to someone without feeling the awkwardness of being vulnerable, even when you feel the chills run down your spine from an unfamiliar cause.”

“Even when I’m dead, I’ll swim through the Earth,
like a mermaid of the soil, just to be next to your bones.”
