late late

 preserving this, as it's worthy of saving

Jehan: I respect you but you don't get that extra respect for being substance free
me: haha.
I actually think that's a level of respect I can handle.
like I respect people, but there's an extra dose reserved for vegetarians
Jehan: Exactly
me: yeah.
I guess it's just that we make decisions about what we value most and feel closest to people who come to those same ways of being.


This.

eine kleine nacht thought

this is just my little thought. feeling the way I feel now, being in love with you who are not in love with being with me in love, this is my thought about my thinking on the way I feel with love in being.

We owe each other nothing. How strange and beautiful, then, that we choose to give each other our love.

night poem

 I think my poetry is getting better. Praises be to Zamsky.

Once our little dance has ended,
Young romance begun to gray,
And the visions that I harbored
Show their frailty and give way-

There will still be your lips.
There will still be that loose curl of hair that, even now, you
are brushing back into place.
There will still be your eyes. Dark like a wooden bracelet,
Like the edge of the sea where seeing stops.
There is nothing more, here.
There is nothing left for me to take.
