“I mean, God bless The Notebook. It introduced me to one of the great loves of my life. But people do Rachel and me a disservice by assuming we were anything like the people in that movie.

The only thing I remember is we both went down swingin’ and called it a draw.”

What I want is for someone to hold me over coffee, to charm me with language, to talk me into their history so deep that I don’t want to escape. Skin is so shallow. Touch is not the intimacy that I want, and I don’t know how to put that into and out of words. I just want to lay here, with the boy that I trust, and not have him kiss me. All I want is a bedtime story. All I want is for someone to give me as much as they ask of me.
-Shinji Moon

He looked at me while I took another sip of my beer & babyloves, I tried
to feel powerful. Imagined myself a goddess in the shock of neon highlighting my profile.
Creativity is a funny thing, I remember saying, flippantly.
Sticky July air pulsed between us & I looked out at the flickering city
lights as if they would magically send up a signal that this was it,
the BIG moment, BOOM, that everyone kept talking about.
My lips were pulled halfway into a seductive smile when he said,
“Yeah, well, creativity can’t be all it’s cracked up to be. That painter guy cut off his own fucking ear”
And I laughed so hard I cried.
