Pieces

I am in love with pieces. A stunningly blue pair of eyes, a swirl of hair as they turn, the jaunty set of sunglasses on their head.

Calling it love is a bit much, I suppose, but I love and hate easily. Too easily. There are advantages to thinking with one's heart instead of one's mind, but there are just as many problems. I can see why some choose logic and science over intuition and magic, but I don't see the why of it.

It's not just sight that I'm in love with - it's the cool feel of someone's hand as I brush them accidentally, the clean scent of a person, the way they say a word.

It goes beyond physical attributes, though - it's a maternal arm stretched out to a lost child, a passion about a subject, a clever word, a quirk of personality. It's a feeling I get walking by them, a good vibe.

But no one person.

Just pieces, patched together.

Gods, what's wrong with me?

Your blog reveals a different side of you that I don't normally see. That's why I love writing. It reveals our inner selves, yes?

You don't normally see that? I apologize, I try to be consistently myself . . . maybe it's just the separation that leads to this?
