A

VOLCANO

OF WORDS ERUPT

AND CLOUD MY BRAIN WHEN

I'M WITH YOU. I WOULD WRITE THEM ALL

DOWN, IF IT WAS POSSIBLE. I WOULD DESCRIBE THE

WAY THE SUN HITS YOUR EYES JUST RIGHT AND THE WAY YOUR

EYELASHES CAST SHADOWS ON YOUR CHEEKBONES. I WOULD TALK ABOUT

THE WAY YOUR SMILE LOOKS AND THE SOFT EDGES OF YOUR TEETH. BUT I CAN'T. NO AMOUNT

OF WORDS CAN DESCRIBE YOU. NOT BOOKS OR DICTIONARIES NOR PICTURES OR PAINTINGS. YOUR ENTIRE

BEING IS ART. THE WAY YOU MOVE AND SPEAK IS AS FLUID AND NATURAL TO ME AS BREATHING. HOW DO YOU DESCRIBE THE

THE ABILITY TO BREATH, EXCEPT THE FACT THAT ITS SOMETHING YOU MUST DO TO SURVIVE? AND I NEED YOU LIKE I NEED BREATHING.

THE SMOKE AND ASH FROM YOUR FIRE IS STIFLING, BUT I WILL SURVIVE. I WILL KEEP BREATHING FOR YOU AND MY VOLCANO OF WORDS FOR YOU WILL

OVERFLOW.
