As life gets longer, awful feels softer, and it feels pretty soft to me.
And if it takes shit to make bliss, well, I feel pretty blissfully.
“The View” - Modest Mouse
We’ll go slow. Snail-slow. Tar-slow. As I’m writing to you I keep getting flashes of other things, of visions. The visions aren’t of you they’re of your house. I’m tearing up flowers and throwing them at your door. I’m tearing up clouds and leaving bits of lightning all over your lawn. I’ve just knocked my iced tea onto the floor. I just want to yell. Sofia, I think we can make this work. There are whole gardens in my chest, whole storms. There’s noise and fury and knocking. You’re my sweetheart and I want to literally burn bridges with you. Together we’ll burn bridges. Literally. We’ll light the fuses and watch them burn. We’ll kiss in smoke. We’ll take it slow, Sofia. Write me back. To the diner I guess.

You’re the only girl I’ve seen for a long time that did actually look like something blooming.
