....when i saw you sitting there...

You were just a boy on a bed in a room like a kaleidoscope is a tube full of bits of broken glass.  But the way I saw you was pieces refracting the light, shifting into an infinite universe of fluorescent rainbows and insects and plants, magical dividing cells, pictures no one else knew.

Quote

"For some time she observed a great yellow butterfly, which was opening and closing its wings very slowly on a little flat stone. “What is it to be in love?” she demanded, after a long silence; each word as it came into being seemed to shove itself out into an unknown sea. Hypnotized by the wings of the butterfly, and awed by the discovery of a terrible possibility in life, she sat for some time longer. When the butterfly flew away, she rose, and within, her two books beneath her arm returned again, much as a soldier prepares for battle."

— Virginia Woolf (The Voyage Out)

i want to inhale you like a line of high quality cocaine. to breathe you in deep with a shock to my heart and a lightening bolt to my nervous system. to relish you as you drip down the back of my throat and linger on my tongue. i want you to make me feel invincible, and i want to never come down.
