I'm swimming in your cadences that you permeate my very language.

mom boys ohio
it is so unfair that he lives in ohio, because that should be close enough, but since neither of us drives and neither of us would ever in a million years say, 'hey, mom, do you want to drive me across indiana to see a boy?,' we're kind of stuck.
mom ex-boyfriend three
