#this is so beautiful and also it makes me feel like I’m sinking to the bottom of the sea :“’)#[slowly lowering my head into my hands]#they’re always going to be like phantom pains for one another aren’t they#dreaming of storms and doldrums and cages. memories too difficult to touch in the daylight.#getting ready to say something that only the other will understand and closing their lips only just in time#the sensation of missing the bottom step while going down the stairs and feeling yourself fall#everyday moments of terror at the recognition of a thing that is missing#moments of happiness and peace and love. yes. but…there was a step there. there should be a step there.#I’M DISTRAUGHT#james flint#john silver#silverflint
