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 Refracted Night
You forget that, in the dark, we must move closer together in order to see each other. You were never alone.
Maybe I needed the night the shadows the darkest days so my direction, my path – my truth – would deflect back to you again
And it is only through the light of the stars (tasting the distance, like falling tears) that I can feel you next to me in the dark of this night, my love
Jon, the photographer took a picture of a billboard in a subway that happened to be for the game Red Dead Redemption. It's not the video game itself, no. If you go back through the entries, you'll notice that Jon occasionally will snap edges/parts of the comercial installations that we share our public space with.
I have a good friend who does nothing BUT take pictures inside video games, as art
That's not the only reason to move closer together. I loved this line :)
ReplyDeleteArgh. I love this.

ReplyDeleteWhy is it that you friend, are the one with the words I NEED to hear?
ReplyDeleteAt Least I am aware of the words that I deserve. <3 your mind and your heart
Darkness
ReplyDeleteis where love begets life
where hunger ends it.
Seeing you brings me comfort, but to feel your presence, is all I need.
ReplyDeleteI can see you even from the other side of the world, All I have to do is close my eyes and your right here inside me.
ReplyDeletePlease move closer. I can't see you at all right now.
ReplyDeleteIf only you can see me standing next to you.
ReplyDeleteThis is pure bliss...
ReplyDeleteThat image is John Marston from Red Dead Redemption? The photographer took a blurred picture of a video game?

I personally really enjoyed Red Dead Redemption but Jon, however, doesn't play video games.
Thank you for your interest,
Iain
