operator

i've got these two friends. they remind me of twins, even though they're not. they're so similar and yet so different. i find them so intertwined, in a delightful way. one of my favourite things about being with them is how i feel equally close to both of them. i can't really explain it other than to say that i've observed often in groups there's different levels of intimacy with each person in the group. but with them it's the same level, so i feel free and safe in their company. i like that i can whisper secrets to both of them as they shield me from the haters with their slenderness.
 
then you take that love you made
and stick it into someone else's heart
pumping someone else's blood.

I love you, Les!

Rach laughed at me a lot, because when I first read this, I thought it said "slanderness" instead of slenderness.
