half of myselfI'm sitting at my desk
– new desk, new place
I'm efficient, I'm that
– guy who gets things done

I feel fine.

And then
– you.

I've been gone for a week
and I just realized how much I miss you.

I miss you in a million ways at once
– and now I can't stop crying.

Really.
And I'm that
– guy who doesn't cry

-
it's like
half of my
self
is missing
-

I've never felt like this
before.
I need you so

much.
King of HeartsAnd that's when I see him for the first time. The boy. The magician. The thief. The king.

He's facing away from me, on the sidewalk with a small crowd around him. Shirtless, with dirty ripped jeans and bare feet. Crudely painted swirls of ink cover his torso and ripple over his small shoulder blades. His white blonde hair is laced with gel and spiked haphazardly. There's a small chain around his neck.

Despite his bizarre appearance I can't help wonder how old the boy is.
He's just a kid.

The crowd around him applauds lightly. They toss him a few coins and walk away.
He turns around. Right away I notice his eyes, a startlingly light blue

Decided to upload this because I think that the texture of the ink on my skin, the sharpness of the ring and contrast of light and dark really deserved a closely cropped shot.

Beautiful, quite wonderful. I like the shapes of the letters and the way the shape of the ring reflects those shapes, as well as the light/dark contrast you mentioned. Well worth your effort, I think!

I agree with Kerri, this one's nicer. :nod: Although I would let the whole of your hands show, I think you should crop it a bit higher.
