I let his gaze wash over me, like a savior baptizing me, cleansing my sins and restoring my faith. His love is my religion.
Four walls. Two bodies. One love.
“Some are. Others are quite detailed. I don’t think two souls are ever the same. I don’t think you’re the Daisy Nathaniel remembers. I think souls are woven from many lifetimes.

Just random thoughts. Wishes upon stars. Prayers to an unknown god.
“E-p-o-c-h. It’s a memorable event or period in time.”
