lay down. wait. put some music on repeat. something soft and melodramatic -- high-schoolish era. hothouse flowers. tony childs. tanita tikaram. lay back down. go back there in your mind and let the nostalgia smooth the creases from your brow. remember how you never really cared, then, and how whenever you hid in your hair and your black clothes no one else cared, either. when falling in love was just another goal and falling from love amounted to some snot and a weeks worth of bad poetry. remember when your mind made so much sense, despite yourself, as compared to now. you've grown complex. the more you've combed the threads the more tangled they've become. there is no pattern here except for you and your music and your bed and everything else is the tangled knot you've woven.
