My James/Madeleine obsession is reaching. some weird new heights.
#00Swann#i just want to write them as different halves of a whole#as pieces of an inextricable tangle#as two paths in Destiny's Garden meant forever to be merged#and separated by the barest wall#i want them to fall in love through a pane of glass#i want doom to be spited every time#and for them to fail again and again#and for her to talk to him through radio static only to realize he's been dead for fifteen years#i want him to wait at her grave#where now is only grass#and trail his hopes for the life she could have through the sounds of the wind in the grass#and when at last#ages and ages and ages hence#she passes#i want him to reach through the dirt#and pull her back up#and ask her in the voice of an excited child#Did you have a good life?#like you would ask your spouse if they'd had a good day#and walk off together into forever with her stories trailing behind them#and without ever ever looking back
