I was coming to the end of a difficult period in my life, though when the end isn’t in plain sight, you don’t realize how close you are.
LANG LEAVI was coming to the end of a difficult period in my life, though when the end isn’t in plain sight, you don’t realize how close you are.
LANG LEAVBefore I fell in live with words, with setting skies and singing birds – it was you I fell in love with first.
LANG LEAVWe all have moments of darkness, moments when we are so unlike ourselves. And like vultures they wait for a slip, a misstep, then they take that part of us and try to convince the world that is all we are.
LANG LEAVThere are things I miss that I shouldn’t, and things I don’t that I should. Sometimes we want what we couldn’t, sometimes we love what we could.
LANG LEAVHere’s the story of my life. Hoping they would care about me or wishing they wouldn’t care so much.
LANG LEAVI learned that writing is the consolation prize you are given when you don’t get the thing you want the most.
LANG LEAVHe swept in like a tsunami, wave after wave, and I didn’t stand a chance. All those warnings, all the things they tried to prepare me for-lost in an instant-to the enormity of what I felt.
LANG LEAVIf a boy ever says, you remind me of someone–don’t fall in love with him. You will never be anything more than second best.
LANG LEAVRemember, your words are your power. Never forget your words.
LANG LEAVI hope someday you will find me and remember what I once meant to you.
LANG LEAVThat’s the thing about happiness. It doesn’t require justification.
LANG LEAVHere and now I love you, for the moment you have my heart. But you are entitled to my future, you have no ownership of my past.
LANG LEAVI just hope you realize how much you mean to me. I just wish I could remind you of how beautiful you are. I’m sorry I haven’t told you in so long. But please don’t think I have given up on you. I will never give up on you. My arms are wide open. There is always a place for you here.
LANG LEAVThe ache will always be there, but the intensity will fade, and you’ll find other beautiful things to fill your days with.
LANG LEAVWhere the strangers we meet, take us down one way streets, and forgetting is something we’re taught.
LANG LEAVThere is a savagery to what you feel. It eats you up inside. But you will get through it; you don’t need his mouth to placate you. You don’t need his hands to untangle the butterfly knot in your heart. Your love is a fire that will burn itself out. Let it ravage you.
