“It’s like you were the only one that even gave a damn when the sky broke open. Like you were the only one to see it, the only one to stand beside me and mourn all that alive. Like we were the only ones in the world to see things. There are words out there for me to put here for you but I can’t find them, I hope you find them in-between the lines of the sun rays that fall out of your eyes. It takes time to learn a language built upon weighted eyes, I’m learning for you. You see I was in the cold for almost too long, and when you showed me warm, I had to try and hold my gratitude inside where it burned as you gave it to everyone until shivers were all you had left. And that’s what makes a human; for a God, as powerful as it is, doesn’t have the ability of self-sacrifice. And what’s the point in a God if it isn’t human.”
