I need you to understand something. I wrote this for you. I wrote this for you and only you. Everyone else who reads it, doesn’t get it. They may think they get it, but they don’t. This is the sign you’ve been looking for.
You were meant to read these words.

The Series Of Collisions
In case you touch me by accident. In case you don't on purpose. More hope than heaven (more sadness than soil).
eff. my. life.
ReplyDeletehe touched me on purpose, but it purposefully meant nothing.
he doesn't avoid touching me, because he doesn't know how it kills me.
he doesn't accidentally touch me, because he doesn't care.
i love you.
i love you, too.
ReplyDeleteand you.
and you.
and you.
I don't think he touches me by accident. And when he does I always get the wrong idea...even though I know he doesn't mean it in that way.
ReplyDeleteI wish things were easier. And like they were 7 months ago.
I wish you would, on purpose. Or notice, when you do it by accident.
ReplyDeleteI can feel it. Can you?
watch out in case there's a train behind you.
ReplyDeleteI just want to let you know that I am in love with your writing.
ReplyDeleteSome say it's sad.
ReplyDeleteI disagree.
In my mind this simply means wishing for the touch/approval, and the apprehensive hope of the unknown. Being excited, but second guessing yourself.
Then again, that's why Iain's writing is so beautiful...it means so many things to all of us. ;-)
Amazing.

You touched my heart and I know you didn't mean it. (Or maybe you did:)
ReplyDeleteI remember when we were touching.
ReplyDeleteBut she was on his other side, and she pulled him back to her.
my life simplified. in 3 sentences.
ReplyDeletedaym. haha.
I guess... life's under no obligation to give us what we expect.
ReplyDeleteWhen we are tied to our expectations we usually miss what's happening...life, that is.
I would give anything just for you to be able to touch me again! PLEASE.
ReplyDeleteDear Person,
ReplyDeleteI wish you would notice when I touch you on purpose.
The thing that hurts me the most is how indifferent you are.
Please remember me. It will be so hard to forget after we graduate.
I love you.
This reminds me of e.e. cummings. Well done, may I ask if he was an influence on this post?
ReplyDeleteHe's a huge influence on me, generally.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you. Miss you. Love you x
