“you’re engraved in my skin. so, don’t tell me to “forget” you when you are me more than i am myself”

— “forget me”

[wethewiild]

“So there - the eagerness to see you, I do not expect, I am your meeting place; I am not your shortcoming because no heartbeat is mistaken - For the words we observed, was felt deeper and deeper as we go along together. - And along with the clouds, you will fly, swim the sea, you will land into my arms; I will wait for your voice to call me, on these lips gradually melting, like a candle that is kissed with fire. - I do not understand a heart that swells in red; And the tears that dripped idly while I am burning; Love is deliberately denied, even if it is hungrily desired. - Destiny is strictly uncompromising on the very time I need you; but I must prove still that I love you.”

— Chuck Akot
