And no, you don’t close your eyes to reality. You don’t pretend. Not for longer than it takes for a daydream, at least. Maybe two, if necessary.
But what you do is go to where the love is real.
Where it piles up deep like snowdrifts after the plows have had their say.

Not when there are adorable little faces to kiss.
Not when there are pink striped sweaters to be worn.

Come to think of it, perhaps the unwashed hair is why dogs like to nibble on me.
*I am using some hyperbole here. I do shower. Mostly.
My name is Jessica and this is a nice, quiet space that I like to cram with words.
