“I think I keep telling myself
you never loved me at all
because it is far less terrifying
a prospect than the possibility
you did, you really, truly
did, but all of a sudden, and for
no particular reason,
you woke up one day and stopped.”
― Beau Taplin, Worlds of You: Poetry & Prose

“The hours between 12am and 6am have a funny habit of making you feel like you're either on top of the world, or under it.”
― Beau Taplin

“You might not be the first to crawl into my heart, kiss me apart, or share my skin in the dark, but you could be the first one who matters; you could be the first one who lasts.”
― Beau Taplin, Worlds of You: Poetry & Prose

“Maybe love shouldn’t be built on a foundation of compromises, but maybe it can’t exist without them either. Not the kind that forces two people into shapes they don’t fit in, but the kind that loosens their grips, always leaves room to grow. Compromises that say, there will be a you-shaped space in my heart, and if your shape changes, I will adapt. No matter where we go, our love will stretch out to hold us, and that makes me feel like … like everything will be okay.”
― Emily Henry, Book Lovers
