“I will try to disappoint you
better than anyone else has.”

“all the girls you’ve ever loved, i think i loved them too.
interlude for the grand sonata
every mouth you’ve ever kissed
was just practice
all the bodies you’ve ever undressed
and ploughed into
were preparing you for me.
i don’t mind tasting them in the
memory of your mouth
they were a long hallway
a door half-open
a single suitcase still on the conveyor belt
was it a long journey?
did it take you long to find me?
you’re here now,
welcome home.”
― Warsan Shire

“I wanted it to be you. I wanted it to be you so badly.”
― Kathleen Kelly

“The sun stopped shining for me is all.”
― Nina LaCour, Hold Still
