oh

oh wow how fast things change. how we've spiralled!

i will always have that one kiss with daryl, and in that moment i will always be innocent. i will always remember monica's cherries, and in that moment i will have endless possibilities. i will always see dalglish sitting alone outside the council room, and in that moment i will see the face of dark temptation. i will always hear you breathing with your back against me as i cycle you down the hill, and in that moment i will know what it feels like to be out of control.

there will be so many hours after all this. cruel, unrelenting hours, with clocks threatening by the minute to strike fear into my aging heart. but i live for moments like these, for the memory of moments like these.
