normal wake-up sickness
I wake up feverish, sore, uncomfortable. Is it sickness or is it heartbreak? I can't tell. The thermometer says I'm normal, but I'm clearly not.

You don't know, but I'm noticing.
elevators stairs
Life tells you to take the elevator, but love tells you to take the stairs.
stories young believer
I'm a firm believer that every person, young or old, has at least one good story to tell.
two people kind
There is no word for our kind of friendship. Two people who don't see each other a lot, but can make each other effortlessly happy
want matter
What i want is for what i want to actually matter.

love is tied to truth. I think of them as unhappily conjoined twins.
doors nouns adjectives
You make it a production. Slam doors. Knock things over. Scream. But I just leave. Even if I'm still standing there, I leave. I am refusing you. I am denying you. I am an adjective that is quickly turning into a noun.
breathe ability asthma
The older I get, the more I lose my ability to breathe.
light air shapes
I feel such a tenderness for these vulnerable nighttime conversations, the way words take a different shape in the air when there's no light in the room.
love eye hair
Even if you were green and had a beard and a male appendage between your legs. Even if your eyebrows were orange and you had a mole covering your entire cheek and a nose that poked me in the eye every time I kissed you. Even if you weighed seven hundred pounds and had hair the size of a Doberman under your arms. Even then, I would love you.
thinking term
And I, who have never thought in terms of a life, think to myself that I could make a life out of this.
love-you mean games

mind impulse one-word
Her mind is an unquiet one, words and thoughts and impulses constantly crashing into each other.
