I know you are scared. Who could blame you? Love is a hurricane wrapped inside a chrysalis. And you are a girl walking into the storm.
LANG LEAVI know you are scared. Who could blame you? Love is a hurricane wrapped inside a chrysalis. And you are a girl walking into the storm.
LANG LEAVIn many ways, a book is, in itself, a tiny universe. Each page is like a newly formed galaxy, fashioned from a single, pulsing thought. A book travels for days, for years, sometimes for centuries to meet you at an exact point in time.
LANG LEAVThe time may not be prime for us, though you are a special person. We may be just two different clocks, that do not tock, in unison.
LANG LEAVI thought you were a keeper, I wish I could have kept you.
LANG LEAVI still search for you in crowds, in empty fields and soaring clouds. In city lights and passing cars, on winding roads and wishing stars.
LANG LEAVWe had no ending, no said goodbye. For all my life, I’ll wonder why.
LANG LEAVAnd if you’ve forgotten, let me remind you. How love never really ends. How your heart breaks the same way it beats, again and again, and again.
LANG LEAVI know love because I am in love. Because of how long I’ve loved. Because of the man I love.
LANG LEAVWhen love finds you, it doesn’t come as crashing waves or thunderbolts. It appears as a song on the radio or a particular blue in the sky. It dawns on you slowly, like a warm winter sunrise-where the promise of summer shines out from within.
LANG LEAVI learned that writing is the consolation prize you are given when you don’t get the thing you want the most.
LANG LEAVIt is the mark of a great poet to write words that feel as though they have stood witness to your most intimate memory of love.
LANG LEAVIsn’t it strange how much of our lives are interchangeable, how little is truly ours.
LANG LEAVI can’t believe how hard it is. The pain is indescribable. It’s like I’ve been turned into sandstone and my insides are being slowly hollowed out by a chisel and mallet.
LANG LEAVThe only ones they can turn against you are those who were never with you.
LANG LEAVSome days I feel like my soul is being pulled in one direction and my heart in another.
LANG LEAVLoving you is like being ten years old again, scaling a tree with my eyes bright and skyward, wanting only to get higher and higher, without a thought of how I would get back down.
