Falling in love like that? Writing poetry, crying at pop songs? Dragging people into photo-booths, taking a while day to make a compilation tape, asking people if they wanted to share your bed, just for company? If you quoted Bob Dylan or T.S.

He had felt them there, bleeding, like a tumor slicing open his internal organs, but he hadn't been able to see them.

"Maybe Brent can help you wif it?"
