[bodytext] => Ten years. For ten years I have wandered. I have walked the Arizona sky. I have hidden beneath blue mountains, black rivers running rabid; a mad dog searching for nothing. I have met so many beautiful people. I have watched those people fall apart, wither, and fade. I have sat idle, watching brothers stab their arms, I have laughed with them, got high with them, loved them, and watched them die. For ten years I have done nothing. I have made love to the most beautiful of women. I have held them in my bed, on floors, in cars, whispered flowers, lies, and tears; I have colored, clenched, and sucked the summer fields, the red red love of their love. I have argued love (true love), I have spit my vomit in the most beautiful of women. I have crushed them, broken them, called them liar, ***** and whore. For ten years I have loved and did not love. And today, I have begun. Today is the saddest day of my life. Today I love. Today I will not stand by, I will not let her die. Today I will not argue love, because I am unsure because I am afraid because I find myself laughing like I've never laughed before.
