"Where..were...you? Why...why did you leave?" he said. He was panting, breathing in and out. In and out. The wind blew, the leaves rustled, the water lapped at the side of the docks where we were standing. The noise of the traffic blared from the city. The crows, the sparrows and the pigeons screeched as they flapped back to their nests at the end of the day. The big, bright orange sun sunk in slow motion into the bay. I didn't see any of that, I didn't hear any of that. I didn't even feel any of that. All I could see was him. Standing in front of me. Breathing. In and out. In and out. "You left, you left me.

I love my major and I have unrealistic plans about my future even though I don't know what I'm going to do the next day. I hate birds calling, especially in the morning. Did I mention that I don't do mornings? I'm scared of horror movies. I detest rock music. I spend an insane amount of time alternating between my laptop and my books. I like cats better than dogs. I love football, and I understand it better than most guys, and if you can't handle that... I like pineapple on my pizzas and I don't eat meat. I pray a lot, sometimes even loudly. I talk to myself, all the time. So much so that people stare. I talk a lot, in general. But I'm very shy. I drink like a fish. I don't get drunk. I will not h...
