Tattoo?

It reminds me of love, and the way that two people can create a bond of such familiarity that transcends all previous ties. It's reminiscent of the struggles to improve ourselves so that the worth of what we have to give away is greater, because we know that the other deserves better than what we have to offer right now. It reminds me of how honesty was never important until love was achieved, and now honesty is the goal not even because you feel like it should be but because you actually want it to be. You want to give everything you have and more. It's about the ability to be utterly candid and the strength of frankness and stark truth that you've never before been able to accomplish; and it blows you away every time you reflect upon it and how far you've come. This is love, and more, and honesty and sincerity and truth.

"We've never been into honesty, but promise me you'll let me know when you're lying."

Dear Pablo,

I dreamt these words once, exactly how they appear:

Beloved, I am the city, and so I cover you
Segue
The dream snaps shut, ends
And you see everything and nothing:
Everything of that world
and nothing of ours.


I owe them to you.

Poetically yours,
Viktorria
