I think of you in quiet moments—the kind of silence that presses against your ribs and reminds you you’re still alive. It’s gravity, like the way the ocean aches for the moon and never stops reaching, even when it’s full. You are the pause in my chaos, the unnamed hope stitched between heartbeats.
In English we say “I want you.”

You MUST understand you will not be heard out in any way.

Any time corporate executives are in a room together and don't know they're being recorded, the transcript is like: "Christ, I hate our customers. We're agreed that we all hate our customers? Let's lie to the IRS, criminally. Did I mention the Holocaust never happened? Put more lead in our soda."
