[i can't take my eyes off it.]

we've mastered the art of ignoring the people outside these walls. we've found a way to escape to our own little world. we're on a roll, it seems. and no one can stop us now.

i said i slept well and with sarcasm in your voice you asked why. but the truth is, everything just felt right, and i was calm, because you restored me to the self i desire to be.

i am no longer in possession of my all-time favorite shirt. i hope you know how much you mean to me.
