“My boy of steel. My man of honor. My perfect friend. My timeless soldier.”

“I wore your promise on my finger for one yearI'll wear your name on my heart til I dieBecause you were my boy, you were my only boy forever.”

“You are my counterfeit mystery. My artificial company. My forged reality. My imaginary friend I can’t eradicate.”

“Just friends? Alright friend we won’t kiss goodnight, and I won’t hold you tight and wish that you were mine just for one night. I will separate my dreams from my eyes, separate my heart from my spine, keep clean the lines between my hands and your innards.”

“This is my carefree, this is my freedom–this is MY HAPPY.”

“My insides turn outward in acknowledgement of your absence. My heart slips out of my chest and down into my gut.”

“I wear my heart on my blog.”
