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 Lies Are 20 Stories High
Life is just the novel you write on your coffee break. And your novel is just a collection of lies you'd like to remember. And all that you remember, is the distance from here, to then.
I wish I could know how to define "then." Hopefully the distance will close a bit; the cruel spaces between us. We should meet in the middle to compare our notes someday. I believe that our lies are a thing of beauty, of Art. And Art is created to be shared with the world.
The lies are not so dirty if they helped to get us together. They may even be funny.Kind of allied, when we look back from that so called then. Meanwhile, we live from forgiveness and understandings and promises and so called love.
And the day comes when you jump off that tower that you built, because you have to trust that the truth is enough. And maybe you don't have to try so hard to remember, because it's all right here in your heart.
People call me a liar. I know that's exactly what they say about me. Truth is I will climb infinite altitudes for my soul mate. Don't believe a word they say. I love you. Me.
COFFEE <3
ReplyDeleteI have stopped writing in my breaks but it doesn't mean I have stopped lying. I can remember about as much as I can predict.
ReplyDeleteI love this. All that is true, is what we remember to be so.

I'd rather spend my break making my life and interesting novel rather than read a book of lies even if it is fiction.

ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, we live from forgiveness and understandings and promises and so called love.
The concept of "us" has never felt like a lie to me. It feels like the safety and comfort of love and home.
ReplyDeleteAll that I remember is the distance from here to then, and it consumes me in ways I cannot control.

ReplyDeleteand coffee was always just an excuse to see you.
ReplyDeleteThis has got to be my favorite out of all your beautiful creations. <3

ReplyDeleteWhat if I have no coffee breaks? And even if I do, what if I can not write? Then what is life and how are the memories the lies of 2o stories?
