in the fading silver light of dusk, we leave our marks on each other: me, with my fingernails; and you, with your teeth - but deeper than that; me with my heart, and you with yours. fearing, as i always have, assigning meaning to something which has none; i am quiet. i don't tell you that your eyes thrill me infinitely more than your hands do, or that the way the shadows tuck themselves into your neck leaves me breathless. how could i? i don't have the words, or the guts to say them. all i have are my hands, my fingernails, my lips - more than flesh and bone; tiny vessels that together form my only means of conveyance - but, fearing, as i always have, assigning meaning to something which has none; i will simply say this: i hope you, too, feel as if we go together really really well.
