their majesty was impossible to comprehend.
it was not a view that could be captured and bottled in a picture, reflected as it was in the eye of a camera. it was more -
vast and swelling even without an orchestral score. it was the impossibility, perhaps:
the stretch of the water, endless in its breadth, the patter of rain against lush grass, the vibrance of flowers unfurled against an overcast sky.
it was fog on the opposite coast, a river cutting through the hills.
it was all at once a tender kiss and a giddy laugh, ancient and ephemeral and undisturbed.
of course it inspired words - endless poetry, song, folklore, myth. for what was left when even pictures could not suffice?
you needed to live it, feel it, breathe it, and even then it was not enough, an endless waterfall with only a droplet slipped between wanting lips.
it was simply too much - for how could anyone begin to understand the edge of the world? It tasted of endings,
it tasted of beginnings.
I don't think people should make fun of others for saying they have no friends in front of people who consider them friends because yea obviously we're buds but we're not as close as you are with other people and my debilitating fear of intamacy and constant state of lonliness tell me we'll never be closer than what we are now and I'll never be able to express myself fully to you because you won't understand that when I say friends I mean someone who I know will take all of me and say its okay without feeling like a burden or rejecting specific parts of me that I've grown to accept. I know that's never going to happen unless I get better but I don't know how to get better enough to feel comfortable with myself and not the portraits painted specifically for each person I know. So please understand that when I say I have no friends I don't mean that our relationship means nothing I mean that I am nothing to this relationship which has been copied and pasted to other people for so long and while other people are able to get closer to people I will find myself still sitting here watching us remain stagnant.
