![]() Crashing DownA Story by Marlena
I’ve decided that even if you don’t feel you’re perfect, I kind of agree with you because no one is, and because I know you aren’t perfect but you’re perfect for me. And you’ll say I’m perfect but I know I’m not and I never really could be, because half the time I don’t really know what it is that I’m giving you, or what it is that you need.
When I think of you I think of dirty black blindfolds and shadows and sunshine speckled with clouds all gray and puddles on the ground. When I think of you I think of long silvery hair and slow words and a quiet voice, I think of pale skin and hundreds of scars with hundreds of stories. When I think of you I think of green eyes and sadness and fingers fumbling and warm hands pressed to cold skin, arms wrapping around two bodies that are so full of heat and yet still so cold. Every time you walk into my room, with your shadows trailing behind you and black dust on your eyelashes, I see you standing against a background so white I know you don’t belong there. When I see you walking I see strong muscle guiding shaking skin and downcast eyes and heavy breathing. You know… When you come to me and you hold me, your body so warm and cold, and I feel lips buried in my hair and breath tickling my ear…When I feel you wrap yourself around me and your lips against my ear, whispering sweet nothings while I fall asleep and my last sight is your hand raising to brush hair from my face, when I feel love and desperation and sadness and happiness and anger all wrapped into one person and crashing down on me like a wave, I realize that maybe… I’m not perfect, and you aren’t perfect but… Together we are. © 2010 MarlenaAuthor's Note
