"If I tell you I need you, do not take it lightly. I do everything I can to never have to depend on anyone, to never show weakness, and if I say that I need you, it means I am trusting you to catch me when I fall."
Feel free to use kisses as a method to shut me up anytime.
I’ll look at you when you turn another way, I’ll whisper i love you when you’re not listening.
I’ll always be there for you no matter what.
I’ll always love you and know that you have a good heart despite the numbers of time you’ve broken mine.
She always surprises you this way, by knowing more than you think she does. She seems, at times, to have read your thoughts. She disarms you by saying, essentially, I know what you’re thinking and I agree, I’m ridiculous, I’m far less than I could have been and I’d like it to be otherwise but I can’t seem to help myself. You find that you move, almost against your will, from being irritated with her to consoling her, helping her back into her performance so that she can be comfortable again and you can resume feeling irritated.
— Michael Cunningham, from The Hours (via acupofveravenia)
You have no idea that I will break your heart.
When you break someone’s heart,
You also break your own.

Whenever I approach the truth,
You back away from it.

You don’t want to know.
But you should know.

The more you love me, the more I will ruin you.
I will take my darkness and I will push it inside you.

And sometimes life is not like a romantic book, or a poem you’ve read. Because sometimes we fall apart, not to fall back together, not to know how much we’d need each other, but to feel pain and find ourselves within.
How is it even suppose to mean by the fact that tonight, when I looked up to see so many stars in the sky, I almost cry.
"See you tomorrow"
“Talk to you tomorrow”
“See you soon”
“Talk to you tomorrow”
“See you soon”
Isn’t that hopeful?
We make promises almost every day, not knowing if we can actually keep it.
We make promises almost every day, not knowing if we can actually keep it.
There’s no certainty in the promise of tomorrow. Who knows if we really going to wake up in the morning. We still say it anyway, in the hope of what future may hold.

I personally don’t like the word‘beautiful’. Especially when used by those who only know one another from the outside.
For me, I think ‘beautiful’ is a very big word and you cannot just use it to flatters someone’s physical appearance. That is ‘pretty’ for.
It’s overused and cliche. One shouldn’t go around and waters people with this word without knowing who they actually are inside.
If someone is worth the praise you want to make they would worth your wise, your creativity and time to find the word that suits them perfectly.
You’re are stunning,
You’re breathtaking,
You’re flawless,
You’re bright,
You’re tempting

❝ Don’t hang out with people who don’t love you. Don’t try to impress people who aren’t worth it. Don’t try to win people over who aren’t worth it. Focus on yourself, and focus on the people who are really awesome and who love you. Don’t hang out with people who make you feel like shit. Don’t spend your energy on them. There is so much pressure to be part of the right thing: well, you should create the right thing. If you don’t see it, create it. If you don’t see what you want, be the change you want to see.

No, you don’t judge people by how many notes they have on their post, how many likes they received on intagram, how many followers on twitter they own or how many friends they have on facebook.
No, you don’t judge them by the shirt they choose, the shoes they wear or the bag they carry around.
No, you don’t judge people by how thick their eyeliner is, how light or dark their hair colour is or even how dark is the shade of their undereyes.
You don’t judge them at all You study people by the words they choose to express, poetries they write down on their notebooks and their favourite songs they got on repeat. You study them by their favourite movies, their dreams and goal and their favourite hobbies or books. Don’t be the type who look only on the surface, study people, get to know them, be someone who cares, be someone who knows and then yes, it’s your choice whether to stay.But all of us, we love those we shouldn’t.

You would remember how you thought I fell asleep on your bed.

You would remember our talking over meals and not care what time it was and the rush meal where we didn’t even care how good the food was.
You would remember holding me everywhere we went to no matter how crowded the place was or especially when it is.
You would remember we taking polaroid picture, not care about anyone anymore, just because we were on the longest escalator ever.

"There comes a point when talking about it doesn’t make you feel better anymore. You just live with your mouth closed and your walls up and your heart hidden because the last time you opened up to somebody they tore you up and then left. And now you’re scared of being vulnerable and soft because you bruise like a peach, but you’re becoming so cold and stony and hard. You won’t let anyone hold your hand because you’re scared that they’ll let go. You won’t let anyone touch you because you’re afraid of getting burned. You won’t let anyone kiss you because you’re terrified of getting addicted to the taste of their mouth. And every time somebody asks you if you’re okay, you say yes without looking into their eyes because you think that you have to. You think that your pain isn’t worth the words or the time or the attention. And that makes me so, so sad."

You’ll laugh at how stupid you were for falling for into his trap and becoming a stupid piece in one of his stupid lying games. But until then, you’re going to hurt. You’re going to hurt like hell.
Your skin is going to burn every time you walk past him. The places he touched on your body will be black and blue, and those bruises will stay for a while. The mention of his name will feel like a stab to the chest, and you’ll cry yourself to sleep because the pain gets worse at night.
But that’s okay. It’s okay to still want him, even after all that he’s done. It’s okay to miss him even though he’s probably a piece of shit. It’s okay to listen to sad music and clutch your stomach and sob and think of him. Because someday you won’t have to anymore.
And someday doesn’t have to be today
"We don’t get along nowadays.
Perhaps it’s because
I never liked you.
I only loved you."

"but the fact that you left doesn’t make you any less beautiful than you were before"
"I won’t miss you.
I’ll miss what we did
and where we went.
I’ll miss the thoughts
and possibilities
of what we could have done
and where we could have gone.
But not you.
You’re a whole different story."

(You) tried to love me, and that’s what counts. You put your whole heart into the attempt, but I guess you couldn’t get past my hundreds of thousands of flaws. Maybe you (got) sick of me, sick of trying to stay with me. I could tell that you were (tired), and believe me, so was I. It was hard anticipating your every reaction to my every word. I was scared (of) what you would do, say, or feel. As we went on, I thought more and more about you and less and less about myself. I started paying too much attention to the words “us” and “you” and not enough to the word “(me.)” Maybe that was the problem. I invested too much of myself into our relationship—more than you could handle. I probably scared you away. I wish I wouldn’t have, because you never got to see all of me. The best parts of me. But you left because you saw some of my worst parts—the bad, frightening ones. You probably thought that you were better off safe than (sorry.)
Well, you were right.
be careful where you build your home. No settlement is ever permanent.
"If I took a shot for every time that I thought of you, I would have been dead before we met."
"I wasn’t able
to buy your love and affection
from the grocery store,
so it shocked me
when I realized
that it had
an expiration date."

People often confuse optimists with hopeless romantics nowadays. Recently, I’ve come to realize the difference between the two.
For a while I thought that I was an optimist, because I was hoping for the best when it came to me and this one boy. I was always admiring his good qualities and ignoring his bad ones, always forgiving him, praising him, loving him despite all of his detrimental flaws. I developed this queer expectation that he would stay with me and that he would love me in the same way that I loved him.
And I call it queer because before him, I was a pessimist. I never thought that I would find somebody willing to deal with me. When I finally did, I decided to become optimistic about my future with this person. Well, at least that’s what I told myself I was doing. Back then, my idea of optimism was pretty simple: expecting the best, being happy all the time, never noticing any negativity whatsoever. How naïve of me to think that.
Now I realize that I was just trying to justify my own desperate wishes—my needs, my irrational hopes—by using this distorted idea of optimism. Optimism is not defined as expecting the best and ignoring all negativity, as I perceived it to be. Optimism is hoping for the best and making light of the possible negative effects.
In truth, I became a hopeless romantic when I found someone. Maybe I had always been one, but my obsession with romanticism took a turn for the worse once I got into a relationship. I hoped with all of my passionate heart that he would stay with me, even though I knew that he wouldn’t. I expected him to love me, even though I knew that he couldn’t. I was in love with the idea of being loved.
Some people think that being a hopeless romantic is good. Romantic people are more open to love, more willing to give it. But I think that we’re all just desperate for it. Being a hopeless romantic is more of a curse than a blessing. I’d say that romanticism is kind of like a disease.
Symptoms include unattainable expectations, over-sensitivity, desperation, neediness, and an overwhelming sense of nostalgia.

November was hands intertwined
While walking the gravel streets
With no sidewalk.
November was tentative lips,
Searching for more,
But finding just enough.
November was for air mattresses and thin blankets in a room full of people.
November was for messy hair,
messy rooms, and messy words.
November was for “I love you” and
November was for lies.

He doesn’t care,
And he never will.
And he never will.
His heart is cold
And grows colder still.
And grows colder still.
His touches and stares
May give you chills,
May give you chills,
But those eyes of his
Will get you killed
Will get you killed
"He put her through hell, but she kept going back to him. Maybe because hellfire was the only type of passion she knew.
"
I was too mesmerized by your touch to realize that your fingers were around my neck.
How long had you been choking me?
I have this crazy, irrational urge to go outside and lay in the snow.
Why?
Maybe to convince myself that it’s possible to be enveloped by something colder than you.
"1. I will kiss the unsaid words off of your lips and swallow them whole, no matter how bitter they taste.
2. I will welcome the fire that accompanies your touch. I’ll be satisfied by the burning sensation. I’ve become an arsonist since you left, you see. I enjoy watching things disintegrate, especially myself.
3. I will make constellations out of the stars in your eyes and name each one after a lie you’ve told me. I’ll never let you forget.
4. I will wrap up my body in layers of secrets and vague ambiguity that you yourself will have to peel away in order to see me raw.
5. I will touch every single goosebump that rises on your fragile skin. First with my fingertips. Then with my lips.
6. I will dive into the black ocean of your thoughts and hope that the hurricane inside your mind will spare me my life.
7. I will build a home in your heart, within walking distance of your head and just a short flight away from your soul."

You were the first to make a move.
You were the first to admit your feelings.
You were the first to admit your feelings.
You were the first to lean in for the kiss.
You were the first to take it further than kissing.
You were the first to take it further than kissing.
You were the first to say those three words.
You were the first to start lying.
You were the first to start lying.
I should have known that you would be the first to leave
Me trying to forget you is like a murderer trying to wash the blood of their victim off of their guilty hands. Even if the red color has been cleaned off of the skin, the metallic smell lingers. There are still traces of crimson underneath fingernails, along the edges of cuticles. And no matter what, the killer knows what deed has been done and will never forget it.
You are the blood, my dear. Still present even though I tried my best to cleanse myself of you. Still making me feel guilty for what I might have done wrong. Never leaving, sticking to me even though I may have gotten a clean getaway.
As I write this, I question my own thought process. Why am I comparing myself to the murderer when you were the one that killed me?
Your kiss tasted like the leftover sugar crystals in the bottom of my empty coffee cup.
Bittersweet.
Both left me licking my lips afterwards, wondering why I couldn’t have more.
You’re everywhere even though you’re gone. I find you in the most unexpected places: In books. In songs. In random conversations. In dreams. In alcohol. In my veins. Places you shouldn’t be.
Ironic how you won’t leave once you’ve left.
What a paradox.
"Don’t do it."
But I did.
How quickly you ran
With my heart in one hand;
With my heart in one hand;
I chased you,
I faced you,
I fell.
I faced you,
I fell.
Maybe forever isn’t an amount of time but a feeling. So that’s why most people think it doesn’t last.
When thinking about life, remember this: no amount of guilt can change the past, and no amount of anxiety can change the future.
"We teach girls shame; close your legs, cover yourself, we make them feel as though being born female they’re already guilty of something."
A woman is unstoppable after she realizes she deserves better
"please
tell me which part of yourself
you hate the most
so I know exactly where to plant my lips
every time I see you"
we kissed,
we touched,
until we lose ourselves;
gasping for breaths
leaving bruises, scratches
our silent pleas
hands moving fast
until we found our high
we touched,
until we lose ourselves;
gasping for breaths
leaving bruises, scratches
our silent pleas
hands moving fast
until we found our high
it’s been too long
to right what was wrong
we admit
we could be one
but we lost our faith
and all we ever do is run
to right what was wrong
we admit
we could be one
but we lost our faith
and all we ever do is run
the river won’t stop flowing,
the flames won’t stop burning,
the flowers won’t stop blooming,
the birds won’t stop flying,
the world won’t stop spinning
just because you said goodbye
the flames won’t stop burning,
the flowers won’t stop blooming,
the birds won’t stop flying,
the world won’t stop spinning
just because you said goodbye
YOU’RE LIKE A CIGARETTE WITHOUT THE TAR, WITHOUT THE POLLUTION, WITHOUT THE CARBON MONOXIDE, YOU’RE ADDICTIVE AND BURNING WITH PASSION
one day you’ll wake up at 11:30 AM on a Sunday with the love of your life and you’ll make some coffee and pancakes and it’ll all be alright
"A girl doesn’t need anyone who doesn’t need her"
"Don’t you realise? It was you."
you should have opened your eyes i was crazy for you
