before him, i never believed in a higher power or catharsis or purity or forgiveness, and truth be told, i still don't believe in many of those things but i sure as hell believe in being held, being loved.

To me it seems like every time I turn around there's a brand new king and queen sitting on a throne of luck or fate or skill or
whatever they claim to use to butter their toast in the morning.
Some things aren't so magical that they deserve a beautiful analogy
