“I watch the way you smile,
as our eyes meet across the space.
I watch the way your eyes caress,
my body
and its grace.
I watch the way you consider,
the things
that we could do.
I watch the way you watch me,
as I’m
thinking those same things too.
I watch the way you realize,
that some things
take time to be;
and until the time
is right for us
I’ll continue
to watch you
watching me.”
― N'Zuri Za Austin

“You can’t go back. Time is a river and there’s no swimming against it. You can’t go back. Yesterday does not wait for you. The past is on fire. What you find when you return to it will be ashes.”
― Mark Lawrence, The Book That Wouldn’t Burn

“Come home and shout at me. Come home and
fight with me. Come home and break my
heart, if you must.
Just come home.
Cardan”
― Holly Black, The Queen of Nothing

“...but I loved.”
