tell me more than just what you think is the usual.
don't just tell me 'i like this movie'. tell me about what part of it in specific had your breath caught up in your throat. or the minute when you had to lean back in your seat, your eyes wide and your mouth parted with wonder. shock. the moment right before you threw your head back laughing like a little kid.
tell me about the time when you witnessed something so beautiful you felt your soul peek through your eyes to see what was in front of you. something so breathtaking, you felt your throat close up with emotion. unbidden tears. obstructed voice. burning ears. heavy chest. clenched fists. stiff stature.
or about the things that make you so angry you feel your nails dig into your palms to leave moon-sized bruises as crescent as your frown.
tell me things you think are so important,
that if they didn't exist, your world would be thrown off its hinges.
