lately the tears have been coming easier and i don't know if it's from loss or from gain but i do know that i feel everything. souls became real to me when mine wept into my favorite jacket at the sound of my best friend's voice breaking over the phone, and when it pressed up through my skin and forgot my body so that it could comfort every damaged mind it could sense. my heart hurts for me but it hurts more for you, and him, and her, and them, because they will never understand what it means to care this **** much. when the wind howls and rattles your shutters tonight, listen for my name. it knows me better than anyone.
