I text tiny a minute later. MADE NEW GAY FRIEND. And he texts back PROGRESS!!!

I think that if you were somehow able to measure the weight of human kindness, it would have weighed more on 9/11 than it ever had. On 9/11, all the hatred and murder could not compare with the weight of love, of bravery, of caring. I have to believe that.

So I said I wanted you to stay, even though nothing could stay the same.

Because what's the point of something virtual if it doesn't end up being real?

you ask me what I'm looking for, and I outline you. you don't recognize the shape, offer other names. you say my time will come, and I hope.

The way you argued with me, you would have thought that we were debating the existence of God or whether or not we should move in together. These kinds of fights can never be won – even if you’re the victor, you’ve hurt the other person, and there has to be some loss associated with that.

Falling in love with someone doesn’t mean you know any better how they feel. It only means you know how you feel.
