: I will never be able to re-live that moment


You make me brave enough to feel it.


I want to talk to you, but you don’t know that. You don’t know that I’ve been pacing my thoughts of you, that you devour my sleep and my mind like an animal. You don’t know these things and I would never tell you. I miss you, but  you don’t know that. And I would never, ever, tell you.

Your words. They move me in ways I didn't know words could."


 sometimes there is no hope, and having faith in the faithless, is painful

because your heartache waves to mine across the street


do you think our hearts will heal before we die?


when i cry
i feel closer to the sea



“I like going out with you, you attract the strangest people and free drinks.”


˝If the moon can move the tides, why can’t it move me


Some nights are worth a million mosquito bites.

If you play with my hair until I fall asleep I will probably fall in love with you.






I let you go tonight, like a bird who had been caged for far too long. 



my heart aches for people who’ve been cheated on, it really does 




Tell her you offered her a snack not the whole kitchen


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."
my friends often tell me about their sex lives and i’m just sitting here like “yeah well i had a really good dinner last night let me tell you” 
 We don’t need nobody, ‘cause we got each other, or at least I pretend. 

I wonder if I ever caught someones attention. Even if I was just walking among the crowd, I wonder if they wanted to get to know me or anything like that.



do you ever think about all the people who you might have fallen in love with if only you’d taken a different way home or stood a little longer in the bread aisle at the supermarket? all the people who might have been an integral part of your life but instead you’ll never know them. the unimaginable impact that our mundane choices have on our lives really gets to me. think of how many times i might have died if i’d made different choices. maybe i’d be homeless. maybe i’d be famous. maybe i’d be rich. sometimes i’m so overwhelmed by the impact of my choices that i can’t choose anything at all because i’m afraid today will be the day that i make the choice that changes everything.”

If you look at the people around you, I mean if you really look at them, you may be able to catch a glimpse of them dying.
Even the ones that seem so alive.
They’re dying too.
Everybody is dying and there is nothing we can do about it.
That’s the worst part, I think: watching all of these people slip through your fingers like sand and being too preoccupied with your own slow death to do anything about it.

When are you going to realize that you can do what you want?

Of all the words  the saddest are, “It might have been.”


I was satisfied with poems until I met you,
but now I want a Russian novel,
a 50-page description of you sleeping.

verything is better and worse once you start learning how to pay attention to detail


i like the moon because she’s reliable. i know she’ll always be there.
with humans, there’s no guarante


there’s always something to live for. even when there’s nothing, there’s something. even when there’s no one, there’s someone.
live to find it. live to find them.



i wish we were better friends.
i wish we were better people.

it’s been quite a while since i last wrote a letter to someone with ink and tears.

there are stars tangled in my eyelashes.









this is how all our phone conversations end with your tired voice begging
please, just stop crying.

“The last note of that songs is the saddest thing. That must be the sound of a heart breaking.” 

Don’t let go of details because that’s all we really are. That’s all anything is, besides dust.


all the girls you’ve ever loved, i think i loved them too


 it was still love though, just not the kind we wanted for ourselves.

i’ve never seen anything more beautiful than you’.

"I think you are beautiful beyond words."


maybe this is about no one. and everyone i know. and all the people i’ve never met. and really about you. and not about you at all.

The last time I saw you; you wore a smile that lit up the room and a hug that felt all too real to be human. I wonder where you are now and if you are happy. I hope you are happy."


do you know how many times i’ve broken my own heart

all the bad things that happened when no one was looking.

there is nothing rebellious about loving something that can’t love you.





 think about all the things i’ve lost 
weight, lovers, memory
dignity, time, self respect
and people
most of all i lose people
to prison, to ghosts, to the ground
to a changed phone number
to a nothing that meant everything.
i start to count loss with my fingers
and last year, my pride 

my innocence
the television tells us that we
have to ’let go’
and i do.



where did you learn this, to leave those that want to stay?








By hating that person, you have lost something very sweet in yourself.


the secret cannot be spoken,
It is wrapped in silence."

There is a morning inside you
waiting to burst open into light."


The scariest thing about the world is knowing it goes on when you’re not there.

Silence is more musical than any song.

I don’t exactly know what I mean by that, but I mean it.

It was strange how your brain could know what your heart refused to accept.

We’re stronger in the places that we’ve been broken.

Scars are just another kind of memory.

You are terrifying and strange and beautiful, someone not everyone knows how to love.

The only thing I know is this: I am full of wounds and still standing on my feet.

She burned too bright for this world.

You’ll kiss them, even though you can see they’re sick. Even though you know they’ll make you sick.

I always had a repulsive need to be something more than human. 


3. ‘i carry my fears on my body because i don’t want to leave them laying around’

2. ‘it’s not that he wants to be a liar, it’s just that he doesn’t know the truth.’

Your hands will never be able to touch me the way the moon does,
I’m sorry

The last eight times I told you I loved you, they sounded like apologies.


I whispered, “I will latch on like a deadbolt to a door and tell you it is only because I want to protect you. Really, I’m afraid that without you I mean nothing.”

I gave you a bouquet of plane tickets so I could practice the feeling of watching you leave.

 2. Loving you was like going to war, I never came back the same.

 6. I stay because you’re the beginning of the dream I want to remember.

10. We covered the smell of loss with jokes.

25. Because I didn’t want to die waiting for you.

27. You’re the song I rewind until I know all the words and I feel sick.

29. His heart wasn’t as beautiful as his smile.

30. We emotionally manipulated one another until we thought it was love.

31. Forgive me, I was lonely so I chose you.

‘last night in my dream i was talking to you, you know who you are, were you dreaming too?’

even your sadness is my favourite colour. 

"I prayed for you today. I prayed for your happiness. You inspire me to smile at strangers, to laugh more, to love more, to hug more-to write again. Thank you so much for that,


they all say
‘i pity the one who left you’
then they leave.

two people who were once very close can
without blame
or grand betrayal
become strangers.
perhaps this is the saddest thing in the world.

"your words split me, break me open. if this is cracking, i will no longer be afraid of falling. my heart will learn new ways to pray for earthquakes. thank you."





This was not an ending anyone would have wanted for him, but it was the one he had chosen.


You cannot kill what is already dead.


All it takes is a second of misplaced respect.


they ask me to remember
but they want me to remember
their memories
and i keep on remembering
mine

And I try to deny it, the feeling, ignore it, because I fear it more than anything.


I wasn’t trying to hurt myself. I was trying to kill myself. There’s a difference.


This, I thought, is the end. One way or another, this is gonna be the end.


But irony got dangerous when it became a habit.


They had committed the crime of remaking his reality.


Sometimes I feel like there are birds flying out of me.

Once more January breaks my heart,
And what else can I do but laugh."

There is always something left to love.

I think only too often that what we constantly need is a fresh start—a fresh start every day, like a clean shirt.

You are not hard to love. You are hard to love well.

Love is an experiment,” she said. “What happens next is always surprising.

I want to become acutely aware of all I’ve taken for granted.


“Destiny is a cauliflower which grows equally in all directions.”

"Time takes life away
and gives us memory, gold with flame,
black with embers."

  • sadness through happiness or happiness through sadness?

I never wanted you to see me as fragile as this.

There is hope after despair and many suns after darkness.”


"Whatever I was looking for was always you."

Treat every moment as your last. It is not preparation for something else.





When will the princess figure out she ain’t worth saving

It is that hope which keeps me alive.


It’s this love of you
that grows in me
malignant.



You either like me or you don’t. It took me Twenty-something years to learn how to love myself, I don’t have that kinda time to convince somebody else"

I hope you never think about anything as much as I think about you.

There is something beautiful about all scars of whatever nature. A scar means the hurt is over, the wound is closed and healed, done with

“Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose a couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But train yourself not to worry: worry never fixes anything.”


I never thought being so close could leave such a deep scar.

I carry you on my wrist, a small piece of you the size of a bead that reminds me you were once here and that we will be together again.
I carry you in my heart, a chunk of your soul beating inside of me to remind me of a time where I couldn’t have been happier.



I think I love you.And I’ve been trying to show you,but I haven’t been brave enough yet.

the hardest part of
my night is trying to fall asleep
without you by my side

“I’ve never been very good at leaving things behind. I tried, but I have always left fragments of myself there too, like seeds awaiting their chance to grow.”

“Find me now. Before someone else does.”

“I thought I was your destination. Looks like I was just another stop on the line.”

“I’d rather be alone and wish I were with someone than to be with someone and wish I were alone.”

“We cannot live our lives for ourselves alone. Our lives are connected by a thousand invisible threads.”

“She’s so in love with me, she doesn’t know anything. That’s why she’s in love with me.”

people so tired
mutilated
either by love or no love


I guess you can’t hurt someone this bad unless you really matter to them.

Most people who commit suicide are dead long before they pull the trigger.


I love you means that I know your deepest secrets and do not judge you for them, asking in return that you do not judge me for mine.

 And even if you want to feel nothing for them, you will always feel something for them.

If you let your fear of consequence prevent you from following your deepest instinct, your life will be safe, expedient, and thin.


"Life is too dynamic to remain static.


"The truth of a theory is in your mind, not in your eyes."


"Better to be slapped with the truth than kissed with a lie."


"The sooner you make your first five thousand mistakes the sooner you will be able to correct them."


"Have a mind that is open to everything, and attached to nothing."


There’s a difference between interest and commitment. When you’re interested in doing something, you do it only when it’s convenient. When you’re committed to something, you accept no excuses; only results."


"You cannot solve a problem with the same mind that created it."


"Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose."






Play with my hair instead of my feelings thank u




say it, and I swear I’m yours


You deserve someone who would rather die than hurt you. Never forget that.

and unfortunately this will not be the last time

this feeling has always been so new to me, and I don’t ever want it to fade

I want you and your love – nothing else

December 25, 2012
and I find myself wondering where this all will end up

and I find myself wondering where this all will end up

because I know you would never feel this way too.

you’re the book I could never put down

and I will not stop wishing until this comes true

who knew that three letters could possibly encompass such meaning

And you’ll take anything,
because you wanted everything

and so I wait patiently for you to feel the same about me


so when you finally decide to choose love over fear
I’ll be waiting for you, right here



and I torture myself wondering if you’ve ever felt it too

so now I can spend the rest of my life believing in something new


and the recurring question is always “Why?”

I’m ashamed to admit that I hold onto this hope that you’ll somehow find your way back to me.

November 23, 2012
and I’ve decided that I couldn’t persuade myself to save my life.

it’s safe to say they’ll never understand

And I pray that it isn’t too much to ask for.

i’ve lost you
and yet
i still choose
to love you



and as much as I wanted to blame you for it
I couldn’t


It’s scary to find someone that makes you happy. You start giving them all of your attention because they’re what makes you forget everything bad that’s going on in your life. They’re the first person you want to talk to in the morning and the last one before you sleep just so you can start and end your day with a smile. It all sounds great to have that someone, but it’s scary to think about how easily they could just leave and take that happiness away too when they go.

I don’t miss you, but I remember you


hold your head high, and your middle finger higher
You learn about life by the accidents you have, over and over again







I’m not the one who broke you. I’m not the one you should fear.

Spilling words out of my heart to every stranger who dares to read them. 

and unfortunately this will not be the last time


this feeling has always been so new to me, and I don’t ever want it to fade

December 30, 2012
almost like a pair of lonely lips that always deserve to be kissed
You have fallen hopelessly in love with someone who could never love you back.

and at once, I knew you were so magnificent


and the recurring question is always “Why?”


and I find myself wondering where this all will end up


it’s a bad religion for her to love someone who will never love her


you’re the book I could never put down


and I will not stop wishing until this comes true


I know you told me “Break their hearts”, but it’s you I wanna take apart.

you fit me better than my favorite sweater




I suppose anonymous romance is better than no romance.

 SEE YOU IN COLORS THAT DON’T EXIST

I missed you every hour. And you know what the worst part was? It caught me completely by surprise. I’d catch myself just walking around to find you, not for any reason, just out of habit, because I’d seen something that I wanted to tell you about or because I wanted to hear your voice. And then I’d realize that you weren’t there anymore, and every time, every single time, it was like having the wind knocked out of me."
