There has not been a single moment
where I had not loved you.
Perhaps I have loved you even before I met you.
In the shades of green from glass blades from the park where I spent my childhood, to the moss on my grandmother's fence on a Sunday morning as I watched her do laundry.
In your eyes those shades of green would flicker like the stained glass of the church where I begged god to save you.
You are everything I needed and everything that would destroy me,
all at once.
-From Jelly to Whales
