    The most profoundly simple understanding of what it means to let go.
    You fall in love with a living creature, it needs autonomy to breathe. Hold quietly and and almost not at all and you enjoy the wholeness of their rarity, the reality of their impermanence. And give the gift of noble love. Loss without fear is gratitude.

    I thought I felt your shape but I was wrong.
    Really all I felt was falsely strong.
    I held on tight and closed my eyes.
    It was dumb, I had no sense of your size.
    It was dumb to hold so tight, but last night
    on your birthday in the kitchen
    my grip was loose. My eyes were open.
    I felt your shape and heard you breathing.
    I felt the rise and fall of your chest.
    I felt your fall, your winter snows, your gusty blow, your lava flow.
    I felt it all, your starry night, your lack of light.
    With limp arms I can feel most of you.
    I hung around your neck independently and my loss was overwhelmed by this new depth I don't think I ever felt.
    But I don't know. My nights are cold still and I remember warmth. I could have sworn I wasn't alone.

      No, no, no. You don't get it. He wasn't calling you gay or trying to insult you. He was making a simple yet profound statement about what this song really means.
      It's so obvious. I felt you shape and heard you breathing. I remember warmth. I had no sense of your size. This song is clearly about hand jobs.

    Whoever is reading this, I’m 17 and I was addicted to drugs, alcohol, sex and being an atheist, until one day at 15 I heard Gods voice telling me not to drink a Red Bull three times and then got attacked and had a heart attack, I called and said Jesus and started bawling my eyes out because the pain was gone, Jesus is true and he loves you

    here I am again, mourning the closest thing to true love I ever had. is it better to have loved and lost? im not sure. it sure doesn't feel like it sometimes. funny how that deep, painful sense of loss can only exist _precisely because_ of this beautiful thing that once was.
    its been years at this point, and it still hurts. maybe one day I'll find a love as deep and profound, and that pain will fade. maybe not. here's hoping, tho.

      @@sciant thanks for the words of advice man. funny thing is, we’re not even on bad terms. the breakup was mutual. things just.. stopped working. due to factors beyond our control.
      i think there was a time when we potentially could have reconciled and tried to start again, and i know there was definitely a time when we wanted to. but so much has happened to both of us in the years since, we’re completely different people now. it’d hardly make sense to at this point.
      knowing all that doesn’t make it hurt any less, tho. in fact it’s kind of the opposite. it honestly feels like this incredible thing we had ended up broken for no good reason.
      actually, i think that’s what makes it so painful for me, ultimately. that despite the lack of animosity, and the willingness on both of our parts to try and make it work, there was nothing we could do to salvage our relationship.
      it just feels so fucking senseless and cruel sometimes, ya know?
