When the sun shines, you let it shine on you

It's the same thing that happens when I turn off a really good movie - one that I've lost myself to - which is that I'll be thrown back to my own reality and something hollow will settle in my chest. Sometimes, I'll watch a movie all over again just to recapture that feeling of being inside something real. Which, I know, doesn't make any sense.

And yes, it was a high school romance, but it was still the kind of romance where I thought we were trying to find a way to make it forever.

If I stay. If I live. It's up to me.

Needle and thread flesh and bone Spit and sinew, heartbreak is home. Your suture lines, they sparkle like diamonds Bright stars to light my confinement "Stitch.

I don't really care. I shouldn't have to care. I shouldn't have to work this hard. I realize now that dying is easy. Living is hard.

I realize then that it's not enough to know what someone is called. You have to know who they are.
