“As a kid, I would count backwards from ten and imagine at
one, there would be an explosion–perhaps caused by a rogue planet crashing into
Earth or some other major catastrophe. When nothing happened, I'd feel relieved
and at the same time, a little disappointed.
I think of you at ten; the first time I saw you. Your smile at nine and how it lit up something inside me I had thought long dead. Your lips at eight pressed against mine and at seven, your warm breath in my ear and your hands everywhere. You tell me you love me at six and at five we have our first real fight. At four we have our second and three, our third. At two you tell me you can't go on any longer and then at one, you ask me to stay.
And I am relieved, so relieved–and a little disappointed.”
― Lang Leav, Love & Misadventure
I found this author searching certain concepts not worth mentioning here. I have never read a book of hers. But I immediately detect a sister author. The above is something that I could have written.
I dare not read anything more by this author, for every word I read of hers is likely to erase one that I could write without bordering on plagiarism.
