Look, all I’m saying is I want Alpha Dave and Rose to have fallen madly in lust and also have become best buds who angsted about things and made shitty jokes and were disturbingly enigmatic with the paparazzi and also maybe fell in love (but never admitted it).
Do you think the universe fights for souls to be together?
Some things are too strange and strong to be coincidences.
and nothing says that you must say hello
as we pass in the street,
but we have known each other
too well in the dark
for this
and it hurts me when you do not speak.
You, who have painted my body
with your body. You, who startled the crows
of my heart. You are not my mother but
we did live inside each other for months.
Sierra DeMulder, from “Without” in Today Means Amen
I am not the first person you loved.
You are not the first person I looked at
With a mouthful of forevers. We
have both known loss like the sharp edges
of a knife. We have both lived with lips
more scar tissue than skin. Our love came
unannounced in the middle of the night.
Our love came when we’d given up
on asking love to come. I think
that has to be part
of its miracle.
(…)
I know sometimes
it’s still hard to let me see you
in all your cracked perfection,
but please know:
whether it’s the days you burn
more brilliant than the sun
or the nights you collapse into my lap
your body broken into a thousand questions,
you are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
I will love you when you are a still day.
I will love you when you are a hurricane.
Man… thanks man. Those words keep me alive and kicking. DaveRose will always be in my heart don’t worry.
DAVE: can you believe that these clowns are our president candidates? this countrys officially doomed ROSE: Not until the next ten years. DAVE: well thanks for the goddamn insight lalonde youre a real motivator
