so tired of the rain

you know what’s a good feeling? a real good feeling?

“She was addictingly nice to cuddle with. It could be 3 in the morning or 3 in the afternoon on the sofa with nothing but the sound of her breathing and the cool February breeze swifting through the window and then gliding at our tangled skin. She smelled nice most of the time, even without the cologne, which she often shared with me so we can sniff each other when there was nothing else to do but cuddle. And I love the way she smiles when she’s in my arms and my legs are on top of her legs and she’s happy and I’m happy and that’s all we could ever be when the rest of the world feels warm and lovely and all I know is I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be. Right there in the miracle of her arms, every day, forever, always.”

“Not everything is supposed to become something beautiful and long-lasting. Sometimes people come into your life to show you what is right and what is wrong, to show you who you can be, to teach you to love yourself, to make you feel better for a little while, or to just be someone to walk with at night and spill your life to. Not everyone is going to stay forever, and we still have to keep on going and thank them for what they’ve given us.”
