Why Isnt It Socially Acceptable To Live In The Woods And Just Be Creative

Imagine having someone to love and cherish you? Kiss you when you're least expecting it? Hugging you from behind and putting their head in the crook of your neck? Holding your hand when you're on a walk? Planting soft kisses on your forehead? Whispering sweet nothings in your ear as you're slow dancing in the middle of the night? Asking you how you're really feeling? Cuddling and reading books with you? Buying you new copies if your favorite books? Sending you "this reminded me of you" messages? Actually putting you and your feelings first? What an otherworldly concept!

While I can't have you, I long for you. I am the kind of person who would miss a train or a plane to meet you for coffee. I'd take a taxi across town to see you for ten minutes. I'd wait outside all night if I thought you would open the door in the morning.

This one is particularly melancholy and beautiful.
