There is no metaphor to my spacing of the letters. I think it's cute. |

Ahahahaha. When in love people do see the beloved in a strange light, I agree.
ReplyDeleteMy friends and I, we like to ogle and comment on the strange pairings we happen on everywhere (the mall, coffee shops, et al.).
Caution is good at our ages (I assume we are just several years apart. But I know for a fact you are waaay younger than I.), and despite you, I still hope you find your Someone.
Thank you Eric.
DeleteI write other people's love stories with some restraint. This is partly because I'm not used to being this lonely, although it is no longer as foreign as it was two years ago. It is mainly because I don't think I'm punctuating "people's" right.
