♀♥♀

What's the difference between thinking you love someone and loving someone, right now? Love is intangible; you cannot prove or disprove its existence. It exists in hearts and minds and music and bones, and if you believe you love someone than you must actually love someone. Perception is reality, after all. Retrospect may shed a different light, but from embarrassment or pride or disgust or regret: they do not erase what has been. You cannot unlove what you have once loved.

Isn't it remarkable how ridiculously thin the line between love and hate is? One minute you're spitting and punching and kicking and the next you're kissing and biting and loving, and it's all the same, the fire still burns the same way, you get off on one just as well as the other.

You can never really forget the reasons why you loved someone. Even after so many days, after countless months, after so many years-- the reasons can be examined with a cold eye and a silent heart, if you're lucky. If you're not, your heart bursts into flames again, the smoldering coals escalating into a roaring beast, and what can you do but be hopelessly in love again? Could be the blink of an eye, a moment, a heartbeat, a day, a lifetime, from that point on.

Could be forever.

And Time Marches on. No matter what we thought we heard, we were never promised anything else.

Thanks, Anahi. Seeing what you have to say is always so fucking nice, haha, especially because I always loved your writing as well. It's so honest but layered, individualized to everyone and you at the same time.
