so very many things feel so plastic.
i try be perpetually epic, but i think that i come off as just slightly more than bathos, which was never really what i was aiming for.

you, though... you were always real. you've never felt like anything in this world other than flesh and blood, even to the extent where i failed to differentiate between your flesh and mine, and i look back on our history and how i began to bleed when you were cut and vice versa. To this day, we bear one another's scars.

And this, I think... this is love. Not the fleeting kind, or even really the romantic kind, but the kind that lasts, the very rare kind that actually counts. Everything they tell you-- everything they tell me-- in time, it will all fall apart and sink back into the earth, and we'll be left, just the two of us. And when you know that, when you encounter the letters that arrive at perfect moments and the one thing that can make you cry when you've sealed yourself off-- when you find this and you see it for what it is... how could anything else ever do?

Sometimes being around other people is like watching people trying to pass off Tupperware for Tiffany glass.
