sincerity blows me away.  it's amazing how distinct and amazing honesty is in the face of vague, socially acceptable, timidity.  I'm foolish.  I love you I love you I love you - and I'm so afraid of what that word means, but this isn't possessive, so I'm not afraid of it anymore.  it can liberate itself, (thank you very much!).  a brother, a friend ( Read more... )
