Baka

[aswingaway]

The first steps waddling into a clumsy love

A constant war of tugging and letting go

But the most beautiful part is enough

To understand someone, to know.

[aswingaway]

When I fall asleep by your side

Remind me of all the times

That you gently protected my mind

From every bump on the ride.

When I fall asleep by your side

There is no feeling like this

It's just the warmth that you give

And it's utter bliss.

When I fall asleep by your side

Remind me that you are my friend

And this is a beautiful thing

Be my brother till the end.

When I fall asleep by your side

Let me say a gentle prayer

And hope that all you've experienced

The joys of multitudes.

[aswingaway]

No part of me was drunk that night

And I would tell myself a million times

To tell you the truth

With every line I drew

So that you could feel my affection for you.

Although I say this, I must confess

That my soul hurled itself with every caress

And with every breath

Our rhythms met

And I'd soothe my worries on your warm chest.

As lead and paper started their play

It felt like the city knelt down to pray

For every fighting gasp

As your illness relapsed

I speak of the time before you entered an eternal nap.

Sometimes it takes one person, a complete stranger, perhaps your internet friend, to just check up on you and ask how you're doing for your world to brighten up..

[aswingaway]

Okay so updates world.

My life has done a 180 and I'm not exactly sure what to expect anymore.

Here I am.

[aswingaway]

Some people brighten your world with a smile and their glowing energy. Let that ball of sunshine glow

[aswingaway]

Let's intertwine fingers

Dance to a soft tune

Sing songs under the streetlights

Buy cheap cold drinks in the afternoon

Walk to forever

Turn right at the left exit

Get lost together

Collectively lose our shit

Act drunk in the rain

Swing from the bars on trains

Whisper words neither of us mean

Hide before we're seen

Kiss in the shadows of caves

Pretend to be depraved

Lost in the eyes of the other

But we can never be lovers

Because I don't love you

And you don't either

Let's just call it a secret

That'll die before this winter

[aswingaway]

The ultimate bi dream

[aswingaway]

From this

To the scene that broke me

[aswingaway]

Nothing like this time to remind me of what the value of money is.

[lilium-dragomir]

[aswingaway]

Need I say more...

[aswingaway]

The hell. Jigokuraku here, is introducing characters for a whole episode only for them to die in after 10 - 15 of screentime.

For. What. Joy.

My Asaemon and criminals are dying left, right and centre right after a short introduction with a backstory. Way to reinstate trust issues.

[aswingaway]

Somebody please explain why I have a major crush on this man-

He looks like a mini goblin for real.
