Gratitude

There's a first for everything. I think I had too many firsts for one night.

Apologies to the people who had to put up with my incoherence, tears and oscillations.

Gratefulness even more, to the same people who lifted me up, who dared to part my falling fringe to look at my hollow eyes and tear-stained cheeks.

I love you all very much. Even more so because the smoky facades of Chinablack and the sloshing heat of alcohol could have made anyone label me agirlwho'sdrunktoomuch. But you never did think that way. Thank you for attempting to put my pain on your shoulders, for telling me things about your past that you probably wouldn't have wanted to remember, for making me listen to you. And most of all, thank you all for helping two silly people realize what they really wanted, and try once more for what they always did love.

Thank you, for everything.

And can I put my daisy counter back now?
