when i was your age, i was starving and i would have fallen in love with someone like this, as well. but trust me, it doesn't even count until the not-having curls you over like a bullet through the belly. enjoy each and every body, but save yourself for the only one you'd be willing take apart with your teeth.

at that point please, bite deep and do not let go. me, i'm still licking my tears off my toes every night. it seems to me you can only ever hold onto just one thing.
