That shoddy wall

Category: Life

It really is true, once you fall in love, really fall, all the way, it doesn’t stop. If you’re apart, you brick that love behind a wall otherwise you’d go insane. You try to keep it sound, lie to yourself about how you feel, but the bricks are cheap, you use off-brand mortar, and once you’re in the same room with her, it’s brutally obvious how shoddy that wall turned out. Even after, say, 7 years, one look into her eyes, the sound of her voice, and that wall is gone and you’re fucking gone. You’re lost looking at her, there’s nothing else, just her.

Just her, and getting lost feels just fine, so long as it’s with her.

    Michael,
    Thanks for sharing your bricks. I hope that you get to the top of that wall and transcend it.
    Sincerely, Lee
