"Babe, there aren't any butterflies. It's not what they said. There aren't even any baby moths. This is how i knew: i would have walked through a crowded building to get to you and that's a big deal for me. I would have asked the waiter for ketchup if you'd wanted it. I knew because i let you carry my weight on your thighs and didn't worry about being too heavy for you. There were scores of matches set right under the left side of my body and when you touched my skin every single one of those burned right up. It was as simple as that. If you called me and said "hey, i'm going to be cleaning the shower today, do you wanna hang out with me whilst i do that?" i'd say "hell yeah" because i could sit with you and watch re-runs of 1994 world cup games. I could watch you spring clean your entire apartment and be as happy as pie. That's how i knew."
- azra.T "fluttery creatures aside, i'm in love with you"
