i lean on you, you lean on me. together we can be one. i can call you anytime, and you answer. your reliability is a refreshing breath of air in a place where no one's words carry any weight. i cant wait til i can rest on your chest at night and contemplate the ways of the world. know that i will always be here for you baby, know that you can lean on me, and don't forget to catch me when i fall.
today i dropped the following onto my black carpet: goldfish, parmesan crackers, chocolate chip cookies.

from my phone: five calls, two text messages, and an e-mail.
i have officially dropped the ball of life.
