Leonard Cohen, from The Spice-Box of Earth; "Beneath My Hands"
Text ID: When you call me close / to tell me / your body is not beautiful / I want to summon / the eyes and hidden mouths / of stone and light and water / to testify against you.

when i was a kid i could never imagine what love looked like. now i know that it looks like him. it tastes like his lips and smells like his hair, sounds like his laugh and feels like his head against my chest.

People pressing my flesh,
Taking my time,
They don’t know a thing about my life with you.
I’m trying real hard,
Hard not to care.
‘Cause all I ever really want to do,
Is sit around doing nothing with you,
Because nothing’s only fun when you’re there.

i want to be inconvenienced by you. i want to wait for you, i want to hold your things while you do something else, i want to make adjustments to my plans to make space for you. someone at your side who takes up no space and has no needs of their own is not a person, but a shadow. i don't want a shadow, i want you. i want my life to be altered by your presence in it. please, inconvenience me.
