#*tosses*

I'm back with more Fools Gold Sands. It's unpolished because i do not have the patience. Marco is a smug bastard he's very dear to me

" You know, people laugh at me. Call me crazy, even... but they ain't seen what I've seen. Animals are getting smarter every day, I tell ya. They're gonna stand up against mankind itself soon enough and then humanity as a whole will be doomed. "

The legacy of hands

Wandering, errant

A lesson of loss

Engraved in membrane memories

( What would I lose if I stayed?

Your lips painted gold

Pressed against mine? The lingering taste of

Rose on my lips)

Rosewater lover-

Tell me

If I loved you, you know that I'd be true. I'd never put the two of us at risk with something I'm not ready to do.

If I loved you, I'd give you what you need. Support when you need me, unconditional love even when you don't. And a bandage for whenever you will bleed.

If I loved you, this is what I hope you will receive.  My words for help, my honesty for strength, and care in all your times of need.

You know I do not love you, not in the way a lifelong bond is made.  But to push me to accept you, there are some things to be said.

I will not be subservient, not when I know this isn’t right.

I will not hold my tongue, not when I would feel contrite.

I will not hang onto you, not when the act gives me such a fright.

You want a person I am not, and that is a notion I will fight.

If I loved you, I would be honest, steadfast, and true.  I cannot be anything else, it is something I will not do.

I thank you for telling me, but this is quite enough.  You do not want what sort I can provide, and I cannot accept your declaration of love.
