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

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.

We reshape our memories into uglier versions because it’s hard to forget them while they’re still beautiful.

This is face blindness, but not really it. Among all the faces I see, I could only see yours.

I’ve always had a fear of endings, but it comes as relief to me that among all the dying things, I am one too.

Where once there were a few houses between us, now there are seas.

I close my eyes and I see you. I open them, and I’m blind.

You float underneath my eyelids – a dream I never seem to get enough of.

Of all the lies I’ve lived, and all the lies I’ve been told, the lies I told myself hurt the most.

If there’s anything I’ve learnt so far, it’s that to love others, you should give them space to breathe.

These times are so hard, and they’re getting even harder.

One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody.

The worst mistake you can make is walking away from the person who actually stood there and waited for you.

If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don’t, they never were.

To have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever.

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.

No one loses anyone, because no one owns anyone. That is the true experience of freedom: having the most important thing in the world without owning it

In our society, the women who break down barriers are those who ignore limits.
