ALEXANDRA

“And the next time I reach for my pen,
it won’t be to write about you again.
The sun will feel warm on my skin once more,
and I will get drunk on the colors of the sky
instead of tasting hangovers dripping from strangers’ lips.”
― Sade Andria Zabala

“I envy
the cup of coffee
that gets
to kiss
your sleepy lips
awake
every cold and
bitter morning.”
― Sade Andria Zabala

“Tell me every terrible thing you ever did, and let me love you anyway.”
― Sade Andria Zabala, Coffee and Cigarettes

“Trust people,” he would tell me, “until they give you a reason not to. And then never turn your back.”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Longest Ride
