erotica

i was dumb about this one and read everyone else's responses first.  so now i am tainted. 

that quote stacy used.  i misread it to say "lightening" instead of "lighting."  and frankly, i'm glad i did. 

because there is lightening.  it's like love vs. like.  sure there are people you find attractive and interesting and you mess around or whatever... but then there is love.  and the only thing that really makes it different is the lightening.  the startling brightness.  the power and pain and beauty of something so scattered and torn... gone before you ever really got to take it all in.

well that... and the thunder.  the loud, booming thunder in your heart.  it speaks volumes.
