I knew I loved you before I understood what that meant.
BLAKE AUDENI knew I loved you before I understood what that meant.
BLAKE AUDENWhat a gentle curse: to still want you after all we’ve been.
BLAKE AUDENShe smiles and life isn’t as hard as it used to be.
BLAKE AUDENMy body has always been a stranger. And it aches in a language I don’t understand.
BLAKE AUDENI’m sorry for being this hard to love.
BLAKE AUDENShe lost herself, a little, in that darkness but returned with stars beneath her skin.
BLAKE AUDENShe spoke with so much hope, the future dancing on her lips like a flame.
BLAKE AUDENWhat a terrifying thing it is to heal.
BLAKE AUDENYou taught me to believe in love and then showed me exactly why I shouldn’t.
BLAKE AUDENSome days, all of it aches with beauty. Others, it all just aches with you.
BLAKE AUDENPlease don’t let me sleep. I’ll only dream of her.
BLAKE AUDENWhat a fragile, dying thing love turned out to be.
BLAKE AUDENJust because the pain is comfortable doesn’t mean you have to wear it.
BLAKE AUDENIt was always you who felt like water when my whole body was a flame.
BLAKE AUDENI spent a lifetime building shrine to things that can’t love me back. (music, poetry, you)
BLAKE AUDENI know you will take the last of me and I will love you anyway.
BLAKE AUDEN
