What I meant to say before is that these things take time.

God I sound so dumb right now.
But what I'm trying to say somehow is that I love you even more than I can bear. That my need for you is more dependable than my tendency to swear. That there is no metaphysical truth that I would begin believing in if it did not mimic you and the way you talk about things that you do not understand.
That you are something I never could have planned for. That I promise you will always have the key to my door. That we could put a baby in the oven and I would feel no guilt. That you have burned me to the ground and I refuse to be rebuilt.
