Bird Box

Throw a ball with a person in whose eyes you can do no wrong. He doesn’t see your failings yet. He looks at you with pure love and it won’t last, so you revel in it while it’s here.
2) Perfection was a surface thing. The epidermis. Cut a few layers deep, you begin to see some darker shades.

And, of course, That’s what I think! That’s what I FEEL!
Finders Keepers
