As a child, but I guess you have to go out there on your own and decipher it all and you fall in love like a text book. And you become a man or a father, a husband. .. and you think you are doing everything that you can do with all those thoughts in your mind. In the back of your mind. And you coach your son, and love your wife, and you think you are getting a head….
Ha look at me… you are meeting people and working your way up. You love but perhaps the wrong way. You work your way up some more because you are good at everything that you do except that thing. That one thing


Kim lays there on the couch and sometimes I look at her and she nothing but light, nothing but her bones. Nothing but her in the most simplest forms.

and that is how i did it, i shot them all, i just never knew then that i would be so hard to put it all back together again
