i caught on to you. for just that split second our relationship seemed so more in focus. what we had argued about, what we'd agreed on, how easily i gave in to your every whim. how you did that thing with your right leg so subtly. i got it! this epiphany struck me hard like swimming with sharks, like sticking my tongue in the electrical socket when i was 8, like when you kicked me in the nuts that time we were playing. i understood you, me, us. then i focused on what you were yelling at me about and i forgot what it was.Birth sign: Virgo
