Falling all over again

Carter has been afraid to love -and to be loved- since the year 2017, two years ago, when Jacob, his best friend and the "love of his life," left him for someone else. He doesn't want to be afraid but he can't help but flinch every time someone expresses their interest in him. But what happens when the one who shattered him comes back for his forgiveness and Carter can't help but let him in?

''Time makes us sentimental.

Perhaps, in the end, it is because

of time that we suffer.''

~André Aciman,

'Call me by your name'

•-------------×-------------×---------------•

Carter

Taken to the heights,

Then let go

No strings, remorse or love

Left to hold on to

Except for the jarring awakening

of what life truly is--

Heart breaking, soul crushing,

liberating.

Jacob

To love you is to heal you,

To heal you is to heal myself.

•-------------×-------------×---------------•

Venessa

She sips winter from a cup and

breathes out summer.

How can you not love her?

Erin

She is wild and I am strange

She loves to wander, while I am lost

What could be more beautiful than a strangely wild wanderlust?

Alec

Do you remember,

us dancing in the rain,

all wet but thirsty,

for each other?

Sera

Stars don't fall,

Neither does the rain.

They just return back

To where they belong.

As you should

In my arms.
