I've tried missing you with an attempt to hide it misguided by posts read and wrote

No quotes can get me off this boat as the water shimmers against sunlight at twilight

If my life were made up as a lack of speech

I'd fill my descriptions with computer beeps

and Morse code. Life's tender morsels seem to be the suffering but while I eat them my life's internet connection keeps buffering. So I'm stuck again at this point where flight or flight is wrong or right. To tell her my feelings would only seem to wrong her right, by my only goal is to only hold her longer .....I

feel full, because she is all that will satisfy my appetite and until she is in my arms for every night. Your the only one I want to hear and I grow ever tired with silence.
