POV you are a fish and she is a fish and you mate through fusing your body with hers so she can use you as a portable sperm bank for when she feels like fertilizing her eggs and love is real and it kills you so hard

[rotgospels]

“If the mystic says: “I am because I am God,” or if Descartes says he is because he thinks, Cathy must say: “I am Heathcliff, therefore I exist.” Her hyperbole is the climax and endpoint of the long tradition making love a private religion in which the loved one is God and there is a single worshipper and devotee.”
