on the last day of the year she told me she fell in love with me. today i told her she feels like my forever, and that normally I am more than fine on my own, but I freak out when I don't see her face or hear her on the phone. she said she wants a tattoo of a quote or something aesthetically pleasing, like a line , she says my math teacher taught me that lines go on for forever and I want to breathe those words on the outlines of her skin. I call her "my wife", and that makes my soul smile. the children of God wandered in the desert for forty years. you are holding a reservoir of your true being,Β Β and i am dying of thirst. I can stare at myself in the mirror, and look The Devil in his eye, but looking at you is like keeping my eyes open in a sandstorm. I want to be your Promised Land. you have appeared behind my closed eyelids for the past few nights. the first day I woke up and drenched myself in happiness, the second day I dried myself off in reality.
