farewell.
There are secrets of his body you know - the curve of his collarbone, the weight of his hips on yours, the way his fingertips write stories into your stomach - that you probably shouldn't. His lips always taste like something unfamiliar, his eyes always looking a little bit beyond you as if there was someone else, and you know with all the ache in your chest that there probably is. Loving, you have learned, is really just saying goodbye, and lying next to him has always felt like a farewell.
