“Afraid to Love

I turn away
and close my heart—
to the promise of love
that is luring.

For the past has taught
to not be caught,
in what is not
worth pursuing—

To never do
the things I've done
that once had led
to my undoing.”
― Lang Leav, Love & Misadventure

“It was words that I fell for. In the end, it was words that broke my heart.”
― Lang Leav, Memories

“She was the book that was not written. The sentence that was not scripted. She was the word you wished you could have said.”
― Lang Leav, Memories

“If you love me
for what you see,
only your eyes would be
in love with me.

If you love me
for what you've heard,
then you would love me
for my words.

If you love
my heart and mind,
then you would love me,
for all that I'm.

But if you don't love
my every flaw,
then you mustn't love me—
not at all.”
― Lang Leav, Love & Misadventure
