thunder

I woke up with a start. It was still dark outside. 

He had said something to me last night. Which had carried over into my dream (or nightmare, depending on how u look at it). I couldn't remember what it was he said, but it had given me a horrible feeling to the deepest crevices of my core, and had stubbornly lingered there for a while after i woke up.

It bothered me all day. What was it he said?

And then it hit me.

"Goodbye"

That was it. 

How can such a simple word make someone feel so horrible?

"I'm in love with you," he said quietly.

"Augustus," I said.

"I am," he said. he was staring at me, and i could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. "I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simplest pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and i know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you."
