joy! happiness! my cap flew off and i dont even care! (what is this?)
"you know what i realized?"
"what"
"that all of my life ive never seen you, only beams of light."
"what?"
"the only thing that has reached my eye has been light and sometimes an eyelash or a finger when i get poked in the eye."
"yes"
"and therefore youve never reached my eye. only the light reflecting off of you. ive never seen your face."
"but you know what my face looks like"
"do i? or am i just familiar with the light that travels from your face to my eye and then is interpurted by my brain. thats another thing."
"what"
"what if everybody sees everything differently. like what if what i think of as blue is actually what you think of as pink. or what i think of as round you think of as square, but we just use the same words for the same things because all of the words are the same in our own minds relative to each other."
"why are you making such a big deal about this?"
"because i am so in love with you and i dont even know what you look like."
