i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)i am never without it(anywhere i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling) i fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true) and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you

why did you go little fourpaws? you forgot to shut your big eyes.

where did you go? like little kittens are all the leaves which open in the rain.

do you know?or maybe did something go away ever so quietly when we weren't looking.

i like my body when it is with your body. It is so quite new a thing. Muscles better and nerves more. i like your body. i like what it does, i like its hows. i like to feel the spine of your body and its bones, and the trembling -firm-smooth ness and which i will again and again and again kiss, i like kissing this and that of you, i like, slowly stroking the, shocking fuzz of your electric fur, and what-is-it comes over parting flesh ... And eyes big love-crumbs,

and possibly i like the thrill

of under me you so quite new

We got our I.D.s scanned into their system so I have 2 more chances and then I can never go back to Bottletree again. The only part I really care about is the 15 dollars I spent on it and didn't get back. FML
