this is how you know i want you.

by AVA.

every choice i have ever made after you existed has been dependent on exactly how close i can have you next to me and how long i can get you to stay.

i drew lines between the marks freckled on your skin. i imagined i drew maps of every space you've ever been. places i've never been to. places where you belonged. places to drive everywhere, all over you, all night long.

my stretch marks— like streaks, like milky way. you stare at them like you stare at stars.
