Why is it easier to love from a distance? Love need not be an open grave.

I don't know if you have ever felt like slipping away from everyone that matters, losing your grip on the fragile thread that connects you to them, falling back into nothingness.

The allure of faraway love accounts for my fascination with you, and the other cryptic beautiful disconnected journals drifting slowly out there. We see each other in silhouette, in snatches, echoes tasting of unknown cliffs. I can't take you apart any more than I can split smoke, and in this way you are more perfect than anything I can hold in my hands.

Oh You. I think this beautiful little snippet is proof that (more often than not) comments make better reading than the journal entry itself.

I try and try to string words together into a story, but what I am always left with are fragments. Congealed personal truths vain as pearls, hoping that someone in their heart of hearts will catch a glimmer of me.

[phyrephly]

it's so easy to fall in love.

[balonie]

yes, yes it is. as apposed to loving someone well and keeping them near and dear. consummation is the upside of fear.

[cercaluna]

It seems easier to fall in love with your own ideas of someone than someone else's ideas of themselves. Perhaps that is just me.

[balonie]

No, that's precisely it.

From a distance everything is crystal clear, you know where you stand, but when you are in the thick of a relationship chaos prevail, and suddenly you have to strain to accomodate ever-shifting borderlines.
