Description
You're crawling up my mindlike a caterpillar,
I'll be your leaf;
I've sized you up from your hands to your smile
and I know you'll fit like skinny jeans
on a saturday night, snug around my hips
and the laughter and the people and the
restless shifting urge
to drown out the rest of the world
You're my favourite jacket, Mango,
warm & comfortable like the summer and
bright like lemons on my tongue
I want to taste you all the time,
your hands on my shoulders and my cheeks
holding me to your reality
And I may be falling apart,
I may be broken at the seams and I may
write too much about nothing at all;
but don't let go ─
don't let go and I will be
falling, screaming,
soaring
underneath your gentle winds.

as always, so beautiful. i can definitely empathise with some of those lines - i think that's why i love your writing so much...it always seems to have some kind of parallel with my own life.
Wonderful darling.

And yourself ma chere?

I don't believe I haven't seen this comment before, sorry for the late reply!
haha your GCSEs are probably over by now...hope they were good
Well, right now I'm sick with the flu :/ so I guess things could be better. But otherwise, I guess I can't really complain.

ah i actually have another few days to go, had three exams today (genuinely, a killer doing a latin prose lit paper followed by a background paper. i died a little inside.) but nearly over!
Oh no! get well soon my dear! If it makes you feel any better i was snivelling all the way through my exams today, probably annoying everyone.
But i have your writing to keep me happy and sane.

awh, you're too sweet.
you're sick too? D: hope you get better soon, lovely. it's not fun being sick. especially with exams... it's even more painful when you're struggling to breathe and grappling with a tough exam question!
woah, latin prose. what's it like?
all the best for your exams!

i've managed to combat that problem by blowing my nose obnoxiously loudly mid exam to try and distract everyone else. XD
latin prose is good and bad - i study nero's account of the druids (dull as hell), boudica's rebellion (dull again) but the stories about soldiers going on adventures, and the latin love poetry is actually pretty cool. I'm digging myself a nerd shaped hole here, but maah. And even if the stories are boring, it's fun to actually be able to translate something from a dead language into english.
And thanks! will need all the luck i can get in this physics.

Aha, that's a brilliant exam technique!
Boudica? Wasn't see a warrior queen of some kind? Actually, I take that back. I'm not sure. I have a fuzzy memory of reading a book about a fearsome female warrior of some kind called Boudica, but I'm probably wrong. xD I get what you mean. It sounds cool being able to translate all the meanings of one language into another...when I read translated poetry I always wonder what the original text looked like. (:
Hope your physics went well!

Thank you, though.
