    “I miss you,” I said quietly. “I know I saw you a few hours ago but I already miss you. I want to see your face. I want to feel your arms around me,” I said, and closed my eyes. “You feel so strong and you make me feel safe and I just—I think you’re amazing,” I whispered. “You’re so wonderful that sometimes I honestly can’t believe you’re real.”

    “I don’t want space,” he said. “I’ve never wanted less space.”

    I didn’t know what to say. My heart was hurting.

    “Of course not,” I whispered.

    He was quiet for a second or two. And when he next spoke, his words were soft. So sweet. He said,

    “Is it because I kissed you?” he said, and his voice was strained. “Was that—should I not have done that?”

    I squeezed my eyes shut. This conversation was already doing things to my nerves. “Ocean,” I said, “the kiss was amazing.” I could hear him breathing. I could hear the way his breathing changed as I spoke. “The kiss was perfect,” I said. “Kind of blew my mind.”

    I collapsed into it, into him, and he parted my lips and I loved it, I loved how he felt, how he tasted sweet and warm and I felt delirious, I was pressed against the passenger door and my hands were in his hair and I wasn’t thinking about anything, I was thinking about nothing, nothing but this, but the impossibility of this when he broke away, gasping for air

    I don’t want to be like everyone else I know. I want to choose how to live my own life, okay? I want to choose who to be with.”

    “Because,” I said, “because I always say that. I always say that I don’t care what other people think. I say it doesn’t bother me, that I don’t give a shit about the opinions of assholes but it’s not true,” I said, and my eyes stung as I said it. “It’s not true, because it hurts every time, and that means I still care.

    I wanted to catalog the moment, capture it in words and pictures. I wanted to remember this. I wanted to remember him.
