i want you to know
this waz an experiment
to see how selifsh i cd be
if i wd really carry on to snare a possible lover
if i waz capable of debasin my self for the love of another
if i cd stand not being wanted
when i wanted to be wanted
& i cannot
so
with no further assistance & no guidance from you
i am endin this affair
this note is attached to a plant
i’ve been waterin since the day i met you
you may water it
yr damn self

My Dearest Lawrence,
I Love You…
In this life, and however many more exist thereafter.
I don’t understand you…us, nor do I seek to.
I’ve been limited by intellect and fallacies of who we are and what the future holds.
Perhaps, life is best experienced centering emotion and the moment
– The pulse of our beings –
I want to feel. Everything.
Let’s be fools / that love / that live
Meet me in Paris.
