secondminutehourday

a continuous train of thought.

i’m absolutely freezing and i wish i had some mittens to warm up my hands and a mug of tea to heat up my face the steam always makes my eyes water and the hot water always makes my throat burn i wish my throat would stop hurting it’s been hard to sing for days now and i can’t handle it anymore i want to warm up my hands with someone else’s and i want to let them sip my tea and i want to let them kiss my neck and breathe out my shivers and i want to kiss their neck and breathe in their shivers so we’re cold because of each other’s heat i love carheat it’s the mostcomfortingthing to climb into a car that’s alreadywarm with that dry wetness that makes the windshield less foggy and the temperature of the outside vague i like to be able to seemybreath i want to hold her hand i want to go into a café and drink coffee and talk about books and movies and mypastandourfuture and what little engine we have that always could no matter what we do and one of my favorite books is about a boy and his name is charlie and he and i think similarly i think everyone has a character in that book with whom they can relate i can relate to charlie iamcharlie i am a teenager who gets depressed and falls in love and has best friends that leave for college and kiss him on the cheek and kiss him on the mouth and i am a boy that feels infinite when he is with these people and i feel infinite when i am with these people and sometimes things are soperfect you don’t want them to ever end but you knowtheyhavetoend because time always passes and when time passes things end but when things end we’re left with memories and that’sokay because a memory shows that that moment happened and that that secondminutehourday could never be relived and it shows that i was happy for atleast a moment with my friends and my friends and my friends and my friends and iamstillsogoddamncold

I love this. Ben, you're awesome. Your use of form (continuous flow, with no punctuation and a sense of urgency towards the end) to lend voice to your writing is what I absolutely love. Great job. Love it!
