Blake Day

Seeing her at peace with me meant that I felt peace.

That peace was only when I was with her though—seeing the smile on her face, hearing her laugh, watching her combust with happiness and pleasure brought me peace. In some sick and fucked up way it made me feel like my heart could've beat out of my chest.
