Sarah Michelle Lynch

Love alone can__ fix me. I__ broken in ways you can__ imagine. Daily, I__ coping with scenarios I build in my head_ scenarios involving you in danger. I see danger everywhere. It__ who I am, what I do. I can__ help the way I feel. I need to closet you, coddle you, protect you against my bosom and smother you.

I drift through forests in my dreams, I swim the lake I imagine for myself when I__ sad. It__ so blue and clear. I scoop some water into my hands as I tread water and I can see right through it, almost as if it__ air. Tiny, luminescent fish live at the bottom of the pool and wink at me as I swim naked and free above them, my hair spilling out around me.

I love him more than any man on earth. He__ everything. One look across a library instantly and irrevocably changed both of our lives forever and now we can__ get out _ trapped together _ because this love is unsurpassable and we both know it.

Do the things I never did. Swear. Wear neon colours. Skydive. Climb fences. Ride horses naked. Say obscene things. Make love. Shout at people when they piss you off. Toot your horn. Scream. Become tainted and be proud of it. It__ who you are. You came into this world naked and blank, like a canvass, but I want you to go screaming out of it covered in every colour of the rainbow.
