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 Fragile Arc
It may have just been a moment to you, but it changed every single one that followed for me.
i used to have longish hair and i remember when arlene used to put my hair behind my ears. I did it to her and she got all "what are you doing' the first couple times. She didnt tie it in to what she would do to me until like the third time...when she just made this giant smile and squinted her eyes and we both giggled. i dont know why but there seemsed more intamacy aftar that. were not tgether anymore but it still means a lot to me
I thank you so much, and I love you so much because when I say that my life will never be the same, it's quite possible that I needed that. That I needed you. Let your hand rest on my arm a bit longer next time, I'll try not to shy away. Did you hear me say that just now? I'll try. Because of you, I'll try.
And you race through moments at the speed of light. Bouncing from place to place, person to person, someone's bed to the nearest bar. And they mean nothing to you because that's all you know. You race. You start your engine and go and nothing holds you back and I'm shouting for you to wait for me. And it's either I join you in tracks or get left in the dust.
I like this :)

ReplyDeleteAnd you race through moments at the speed of light. Bouncing from place to place, person to person, someone's bed to the nearest bar.
