The Perks.
I just need to know that someone out there listens and understands and doesn’t try to sleep with people even if they could have. I need to know that these people exist.
“We accept the love we think we deserve.”
And I closed my eyes because I wanted to know nothing but her arms.
It was the kind of kiss that made me know that I was never so happy in my whole life.
Things change. And friends leave. And life doesn’t stop for anybody.
She held me a little closer. I held her a little closer. And we kept dancing. It was the one time all day that I really wanted to clock to stop. And just be there for a long time.
She was sad, though. But it was a hopeful kind of sad. The kind of sad that just takes time.
So, I kissed her. And she kissed me back. And we lay down on the floor and kept kissing. And it was soft. And we made quiet noises. And kept silent. And still.
And we could all sit around and wonder and feel bad about each other and blame a lot of people for what they did or didn’t do or what they didn’t know. I don’t know. I guess there would always be someone to blame.
So, I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.
Please believe that things are good with me, and even when they’re not, they will be soon enough.
