Which word was it that dizzied you? ‘Boyfriend,’ ‘devastation,’ or both?
It’s both, for me.
Well. And your boyfriend is a devastation. Ask anyone you’ll like; they’ll corroborate the claim. The difference here is that the storm I bring to you is woven through with rapture, and softened at each edge with fadeless fondness.
