I know this
is really scattered but this is real and real life is scattered.
Its not like, even looking back at it, that I can tell you
the first moment the sickness really began to descend upon us like
the batwings of a huge enveloping demon that locked us in for our
near twelve month struggle.
I know that
the sickness descended slowly. So slowly that I didnt even
notice.
At first I
swooned in his kisses. His every single touch.
He massaged
me that first morning we woke up together. It was like a dream.
Everything was. He licked places I never knew people licked. I know
a lot more about what people do now. Before I met him I pretended
to know what people did, now I know.
