It could be half past twelve on a random day in June
And I'd still be thinking about that September night
How your smile was wider than the Milky Way
How your eyes felt brighter than the starlight.
In the scorching, sweltering, blistering heat
I still feel the breeze tickle the hairs on my neck.
It rustles the grass and carries your cologne
And the sound of your footsteps crossing the deck.
I remember your whisper. I remember your laugh
As you munched crackers topped with a "piece of the moon".
I remember your words held to my racing heart
Not a promise of someday but someday soon.
I remember the long nights. I remember the tears.
Though it's half past twelve on a day in June.
I've forgotten the reasons, let go of the why's.
The lovers' light eclipsed at half past noon.
And I try to be present. I fight to stay here.
In the middle of this hot summer afternoon.
But hard as I try, as hard as I fight
I am haunted by reflections on a harvest moon.

WIP Word Search Game
I was tagged by the always lovely @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed @alwaysxlarrie @parmahamlarrie @kingsofeverything and @larrydoinglaundry to search for some specific words in my WIP and share those lines. Thanks so much xx This was actually pretty difficult as I’m not far enough into my current WIP to be able to locate all of these words, so I’ve used my next Big Bang which I’ve written quite a bit of.
My words are disappointed, worried, soft, smile, raised, sucked, suck, blue, chill, Louis, Harry, shirt, gentle, kiss, and nervous!
That’s 15 words, so I’ll pop the lines under the cut...
1. It was somewhat surprising, not having expected it from Harry’s previously conciliatory and doting behaviour, but he wasn’t disappointed by it; actually he felt exactly the opposite.
2. The words that he’d worried over, recrafted, deleted and written over and over again will be burned into his brain forever.
3. Harry's fingers move with more purpose now, gently stroking along Louis' shoulder before trailing a path over the soft skin under Louis’ ear and around to the back of his neck.
4. “H-hi,” Louis stammers out as he sits up straight, wrangling his mouth in a tight-lipped smile as he takes his keys out of the ignition with shaky hands.
5. He glances back to Harry with a raised eyebrow and Harry bites the corner of his lip.
6. We kind of had to work a lot of it out on our own before, which sucked.
7. Images flash behind his eyelids, no more than fragments from a shattered pane of stained glass; green eyes where Louis would easily lose himself, dimples buried in ruddy cheeks, black ink tattoos, broad back, strong hands, those legs, the ones that go on for days that used to wrap around Louis so tightly, plush lips that would suck Louis’ very being from his body.
8. He’s even created new cocktails for them all; the ‘The Louis Blue’, ‘The Stud Muffin’ for Liam, ‘The Zenzayn’, the ‘The Big D’ and the ‘Jimbo Himbo’ for Danny and Jim in honour of Louis’ nicknames for them, and ‘The Henny Penny’.
9. Louis’ blood runs cold, an icy chill spreading through his veins.
10. Added to that, today is their third wedding anniversary and Louis has ruined it.
11. He’s going for light and breezy, and maybe a bit sassy, although he can hear the flat tone in his own voice, which likely hasn’t fooled Harry, so he goes for deflection instead.
12. Harry rocks them side to side, whispering sweet platitudes as Louis fists his hands in Harry’s shirt, trying to anchor himself.
13. At first it had been no more than a gentle urging, a suggestion that he should at least try.
14. Harry had given him a chaste kiss on the cheek in parting with the promise of a second date the following weekend, this time at a restaurant closer to the city.
15. The final room Liam leads him to is the creative space and is the one Louis is most excited about, and also most nervous about.
That was fun! I’ll tag @louandhazaf @evilovesyou @infinitelymint @greenfeelings @laynefaire @lululawrence @absoloutenonsense @onlythebravest and @wabadabadaba if you’d like to do this and haven’t already.
The 3 words I’ll give you are.... lips, feel, and light!

What if I went to the barn and sifted through all the dusty old books tucked away in the loft? I wonder if anyone would notice if I took a couple. There are so many old books in this house. There's Ben Hur, Aesop's Fables, The Personal Collections of Joan of Arc, the works of Victor Hugo... they all look so frail. If I attempted to open them up, I'm afraid they would fall apart in my hands. I don't want the super old books, I'm pretty sure those are valuable, but maybe I can find some other books that will be fun to read?
I need to call the optometrist. I need to make an appointment before I lose my insurance on my 26th birthday. What a weird backwards birthday present. Like those teen movies where you turn 16 and something special happens, but instead you're turning 26 and you get cursed. I'm calling now, I'm on hold. I should probably make an actual doctor's appointment as well, and I need to visit the dentist.
I did it! I have an eye exam scheduled! Pats on the back for me thank you!
Goodness, I am not feeling well. I keep having to run to the bathroom. I've literally ran to the bathroom three times just in the span of trying to write this entry. My insides are liquid right now. I feel horrendous.
Oh my god I forgot to feed the outside cat. Wait... he's probably fine. He still had yesterday's morning food when I fed him dinner, so he probably still has leftovers. I'll check in a minute when I get up to rummage around the barn. God I feel like shit right now. I want to read but I can't really focus on anything other than how shitty I feel.
I should probably quit this entry, I can hardly keep up with my own thoughts.
