trust
i need to become the kind of person who would permit a dog (which one? oh... you know...) to kill me in any way it so chooses.
i know he will not falter.
this is the sort of trust i need to feel down in the bottom of my heart.
it is what he feels for me AND I MUST NOT FAIL HIM.
I NEED LOVE TO BE REAL. I NEED THE WORLD TO MEAN SOMETHING.
do you know that game where two people hold hands and stand with feet close, and then lean back?
the tension between their hands supports them
it is only possible when people are weighted evenly, hold with both hands, and have a strong grip (grip strength is not just about muscle. tendons take time to develop to be able to withstand the force of muscle, otherwise they'll tear)
if either lets go for just a moment, even if they simply waver in their determination, they both fall to the ground on their ass
some things, when dropped, break.
