“i know that right now you want to run to them
but closed arms will not hold you
and careless hearts will not heal you”
― Whitney Hanson, Home

“There are two versions of me:
one that forgives like forgiveness is the only thing
they serve here, so I just have to keep ordering it,
and one that doesn’t.
The one that doesn’t
is the one that writes the poems.”
― Trista Mateer, When the Stars Wrote Back

“i told you that you remind me of springtime
and i didn’t lie
i just forgot that seasons are temporary
you can’t tell spring to stay
the same way
you can’t ask the sun not to set
but sometimes
i can close my eyes
and remember the feeling of sunlight
the smell of a fresh start
and the sound of birds singing again
thank you for reminding me
that things will be good again
even if it was only for a season”
― Whitney Hanson, Home

“I cannot recall
A stressful silence
Taking over for our words.
She was thrilled to see me,
As I was in awe of her.
And together
We both felt utterly complete.”
― F.S. Yousaf, Sincerely,
