Rabid monkeys with fancy tools

I miss those times when I was younger and I could say ‘You’re everything to me’ without my eyelid twitching. It’s not a lying twitch, unlike some people who twitch when they lie or try not to laugh. It’s more of a ‘it’s so corny my insides retch’ twitch. Just like when you’ve had something too sour and your whole face caves in.
I can’t say things like ‘I want to hold you forever,’ or ‘I’m yours forever’ anymore, because let’s be realistic - you can’t hold someone forever. You gotta go shit sometime. Or break up. You also can’t be someone’s forever, because we all die. Or break up. I think I still have those letters where they wrote things like ‘Yours forever’ or ‘Together forever.’ They make me smile. It’s partly smiling at the sweet naivety of adolescence, and it’s also a partly cynical smile. Forever? Where are you now? Hah!
