talk

Me — 7:30 PM

isn't it wild how we just like

You — 7:30 PM

?

Me — 7:30 PM

grow from the people we've spent time around in the way that like

I mean

we adopt their mannerisms we talk more like them we use words they use we style a little different we shift our lifestyles a little            here and there or maybe a whole lot

in a way

it seems

our hearts are simply museums of everyone we've ever loved

that scares me a little

the idea of being a patch-work colossus of love long gone

like the smell of a cigarette out a windowsill

lingering in my heart and my own memory and impression lingering in the hearts of others

in that

I suppose

the fright is that I'm not made up of aspects that are entirely me

but at the same time that fright is juxtaposed by the prospect of the kind of

metamorphosis

that is growing

that is knowing

that is loving

that's all

You — 7:34 PM

i think you see it wrong

at least in my opinion

the people we care for and the people we interact with. not even significant others. they all change us

they all leave their mark and we grow from them

it's not a museum. it's you as a person growing.

Me — 7:35 PM

like a ball down a snow-slope

a big ball of love

You — 7:35 PM

museum implies that its not you but it very much is you and who you became

Me — 7:35 PM
