"It's not always just black & white, and if it were imagine what a sad state we'd be"

That first time I saw him my heart burned like a bonfire that could light up the darkest September sky. And I knew he'd be mine. I just had to somehow force my feet from the spot that they were rooted in. I could not speak. I could not move. I could not breathe. My eyes... they were bright with desire and fixed upon him. I had become the voyuer... suddenly realising what it felt like to not be objectified but to be the one who so superficially lusts after another.

This is ridiculous, I thought. Does this fire within represent the heat a man must feel when he is confronted by a mingling of sex and beauty in one woman? Is this why there stares make me feel so uneasy when really all they feel is hunger. A most uncivilised emotion. A most uncivilised notion. 

Surely to appreciate beauty so intensely is to be enlightened by it. No?
