Makes me wish I knew this Tim O'Brien. _

It was so short yet packed with intense feelings that slap the reader across the face.

I liked it a lot.

If you need to borrow genius, do so. It looks good on you anyway.

So if not "I love you," what did he say that made you feel like this?

Later...

I love it! The random little thoughts about poetry and Tim O'Brien made me smile, and the beginning was definitely a great hook, good job.
