“As time moves, you realize every single relationship you’ve had, regardless of the length, is a bittersweet reality and a memory gained.”
―

“I couldn’t sleep without you. Not because I needed you, but because your body was a temperature I was used to being next to.”
―
―
“They say lightning never strikes twice, but it can and it does; and if it’s meant to be, we prevail.”
―

“I loved you, I did. I believe I even sold myself a bit: on your love, my lust, your hair and just the way we stood there. How the air smelled of you, the way your shirt was cursed with blues. The way we danced by the ocean in front your mini-garden. The white fence, your loveliness and the heavenly kisses. It’ll always be the sheets, lying beside, holding your arm and kissing your hair in a loving stride.”

“Your worth is what you allow it to be.”

“I loved him to death. Then I came to realization with how arrogant he was and instead of falling out of love, I fell harder. Every passing day I fell a little harder, a little faster, and a little sadder. I became anxious, obsessive, hurt, and sad. But one morning I awoke to realize I fell out of it. I loved him. I still do. But I was in love with him until the death of the relationship. Now I just love him. From afar. From the knowledge. From the happiness an individual gave me.”
―
―
“It takes two to tango and one to let go.”
―
―
“I loved I the most, not because of narcissism, but because no one else is going to love me more than I.”
―
―
“And in the end, I said you would love me. We’re in the end and there’s only one of us here.”
―
―
“Becoming older didn’t sadden me. The realization that time actually moves made me sad. Years go by and moments become older. Distance becomes longer. Moments which were yesterday suddenly span decades. I don’t miss myself as a child. I miss the moments in my childhood which founded the person I am today. Curiosity, conversations, touch, and hurt - those are things I miss. Those are things which made me who I am.”
―
―
“I didn’t fear you. I feared us. I feared what could have been. I feared what could be. I feared the connection we had between each other. The toxicity because I could grasp the danger.”
―
―
“Occasionally love gets too rough, too tall and too wide. We drown ourselves in someone who we believe could be everything and everyone, but in reality, they’re only a mere second in our billions.”
―
―
“I ended it because I wanted to be worth more.”
―
―
“Mountains in the distance remind me of you.”

“I went into the new year loving myself in different ways, in a different possibility. It was then that I understood things I hadn’t. It was then that I understood people I hadn’t. We work in ways where sometimes we don’t align because our intersections lead us elsewhere. We find ourselves in rapids which lead to lightning, in beds that leave us homesick. We lust after the impetuous, in hopelessness, and sometimes in the reactive.
We like things and people who are bad for us and that’s fine. It’s fine because it’s life. It happens. They exist. We exist. We all exist together in this world where nothing seems to make sense. Where everything is nothing but imaginary because it’s what we imagine it to be. Reality exists and it’s there, but life is what you make it. Your actions ask for it. How you exist is how you exist.
We take every new year and give it a theme because we’re scared of how it could be. You change in the moment, not by years. You be to become and becoming is something which frightens people. Lead by example instead of letting the example lead you. Take this new year and find yourself in people who question it because questioning is how you gain from it.”

“Some things are exactly how we leave them. Years go by and we long, passion builds, loss extends and we miss forbidden memories. Every once in awhile I long for what used to be instead of what is. I remember how I left it, last words said, how your voice echoes. It’s not sadness. It’s not quite happiness. It was bittersweet. Things were bittersweet. I still think of it quite often and wonder if the memories for you ever soften.”

“I never fell in love with you. I fell in love with the idea of us together.”

“it’s cold
from the tar
of his heart
yet i still breathe
as this falls apart”

“The second I realized I had nothing left to say is the exact moment I realized it was truly over.”
―
―
“I used to look in the mirror and fall in love with myself more each day. One day that stopped and I didn’t realize it until I started to love myself again.”
―
―
“I used to feel you in night. How the clouds touched the waves and the way you said alright. I still feel your hair, I still see you there. In corners of doorways, wandering to wander. It was never about you. It was never about I. It was about we. The stimulation of brains to pulse towards. Some things seem of importance to some while importance lies in the eyes of the beholder. Neither are wrong, but time is only enough for some.”

―
“The only difference is now I understand what’s best for me and how to appreciate moments for what they are and what they were.”
―
―
“You have to grow. You have to be. You have to love yourself unconditionally.”
―
―
“I don’t face sadness when friends leave because friends always come back. Yet when lovers leave, it’s like death. You’ll never see them again.”

words of your neck

that was more lovely

“People are so worried about being accepted that it causes them to lose themselves and in turn, lose moments.”
―
―
“We were burning, in which I thought meant desire, but the fire left more than scabs.”
―
―
“Sticks and stones may break my bones but your words were always the hardest.”
―
―
“The difference between f**king and loving is taboo to some because not everyone can separate their emotions.”
