“Maybe if you hold me tight, our love won’t be as shallow.”

I run from my thoughts of you and meet them in my dreams.

I’m breathing dreams like air, like there will never be enough of them to fill up the space in my lungs.

This year, I will let grief walk by my side, but I will lead the way.

I’ve experienced departure far too much to have the courage and call anyone my own.

The clock ticks by and all I could think of is that at least I’m a day closer to seeing you.

I taught myself the art of forgetfulness. If they were meant to be remembered, they would have stayed.

You say we’re nonsense together, but nothing makes more sense to me.

We preserve their places in our hearts depending on the way they leave them.

I got used to temporary things. I’m afraid I might not want anything permanent at all.

I want to fold you into my book, like a petal, so that you’d never leave.

No matter how astray the becoming might be, I’ll never search for the old in me.

Perhaps their voices never leave us and we spend our lives fumbling for quiet corners where we can hear them most.

Lay your head on mine and let me breathe you instead of air.

Refrain from giving pieces of yourself to those who get close, for people leave, and gifts that are given cannot be returned.

I’ve experienced departure far too much to have the courage and call anyone my own.

You’ll roam the world and come to realize: It’s all in you, to be free or not to be.

You shined your light on all the things I’ve been trying so hard to hide.

Love me at my worst, and I will promise you to always put you first.

I have seen your darkest nights and brightest days and I want you to know that I will be here forever loving you in dusk.

She was not for everyone but she was for me.

My atoms love you atoms, it’s chemistry.

There is nothing capable of doing, what your name does to me.

Don’t just give me butterflies I will never settle for less than a love that’s passionate and wild I need you to set my heart on fire I want you to set my soul ablaze.

I see ourselves like whiskey or wine – just gets better and better with time.
