Runs. cold.] I didn’t want this. Did you? No. #NoFilter It’s not that I meant what I said. It’s that I didn’t know how to say it any other way. Moments were lost threads of time, and space. When grace Falls - crackle-pop - a scattering - a smattering - of words....ends things “It’s a disease” I know “So we should be Considerate At all
