I don’t know where I stop and you begin. it’s all just a memory, I know. None of this is real. I don’t deserve to have you written on my skin any more than you deserve to be there. Finding the start and the finish is not possible. Before you is/was/will always be chaos: Just the madness of myself, the insanity of Alone. It does not fit a neat little plot. I can’t write it or think it or tell it that way. No longer do I subscribe to theories that time runs in straight lines, the future ahead and the past behind, how could I sleep if that were true? Everything happens at once. I exist both here, and there. We are together still, and also apart. I am comforted by the time I spend in your arms and the knowledge that I will one day see your green eyes for the very first time.
