“I love it when you're silent with me
but my worry sets in
when you're silent at me”
― Zack Grey, The Space Between Us: Poetry and Prose

“People always ask
"When did you know?"
It could have been when I woke up
and watched you rest peacefully beside me
Or all those times I learned how much we're alike
But it was when we had that fight
I wanted to cry and laugh hysterically
We didn't leave
We sat in silence
The reason behind it all is so small
I knew then just how much I loved you
And as you crossed over and merely
wrapped me in your arms
I knew just how much you loved me”
― Samantha King Holmes, Born to Love, Cursed to Feel Revised Edition

“I know we got off to a rocky start, and you might think I'm crazy for saying this, but from the second you walked into the piano room, I knew that was it for me. I don't know how, but I just did. It was like something had always been missing, like a puzzle that had one last piece you couldn't find no matter where you looked. And then you walked in, and I knew I'd found it. I'd found the missing piece. It was you. I see you in the music I play and the things I make. I see you in the future I planned for myself. In my best dreams, you're with me, and in my worst nightmares, you're not there. There's never a moment when I'm not thinking of you. There's nothing I see that doesn't remind me of you in some way or another. You're in everything, Wendy. You're my everything.”
― Maia Aaron, Nothing to Everything

“Staying makes no sense, but you hold on because you can. You tolerate the suffering because you're used to mistreatment. And maybe you're ready for something different, and you're just stuck between the floorboards of a home that no longer feels safe and a front door that is actually the exit. Daring yourself leave, eager to break free.”
― R.H. Sin, She Fits Inside These Words (Volume 4)
