I didn't really like it when you put your foot on my knee. You would think all I'd wanted was the closeness of you. But you and I coexist at the edge of the universe.

not really ready to board the spaceship

it's a one way trip

and we have some bags to back

it's going to take a while

I was embarrassed of my weight. It had me flustered, but I wanted to embrace honesty. And honestly that was who I had become. When we walked together, I had to lengthen my stride quite a bit. I wanted to hide my body's shape, but the longer I walked, the less it mattered to me. It was a surprise, in the first couple of steps, we fell into pace ( Read more... )
