man it’s so interesting to think, like

my blood is different now than a few months ago before my contraction.

when I die and my body is shown at the funeral, people will be looking at me and I’ll be laying there not alone, but buried with the virus that is as sure in my body as my bones and skin

my spit is weaponized, my blood is weaponized

this virus will be with me longer than any partner, any friend, and in thinking of it like that, i’ve learned to love it as part of me.

and that being said, hsv is the chillest life partner; mostly resting in my spinal ganglia; hasn’t bothered me a bit, it’s just along for the ride, another being in my body, as constant as my shadow.
