i.

the first time we met, you talked about makeup, what color you were dying your hair next week, and if god was just a concept of desirable traits that we use to find comfort in something bigger than ourselves. i marveled at the galaxy of your words, letters shooting out like stars. i exchanged my bible for a telescope that night.

ii.

our third conversation, you told me you never kissed anyone because lips held power and yours were too busy turning broken glass into poetry. all i could think about was stained glass windows painted the exact shade of your lips after being pressed against for too long.

iii.

seven conversations later, you said you liked people all the same but not enough to stick around long enough for any of them. boys and girls pulled hair all the same and you hated being held back. i started washing my hands with your shampoo after that.

iv.

i lost track of time when we got drunk together. you didn’t say anything but let me hold you, tracing into my ribs 'you'll miss this, this is all you'll think about, i'm under your skin now'. my nightmares are about losing that night.

v.

our last conversation was broken syllables with too many exclamation points and not enough of you to feel real. i overheard you talking to someone about clothes, nail polish, and what loving someone broken felt like. i don’t think i felt anything at all.
i don't think you felt anything either.

There's so much emotion and power in your work that it all rubs me raw, but I keep coming back for more all the same. Please don't ever stop writing, I've become quite addicted to your pain.
