do you ever find yourself lost in a story, only to realize that perhaps you've found a piece of yourself within its pages?

the same eyes that taught me to love, taught me i’d never be good enough to be loved back.

“To fall in love with the world isn’t to ignore or overlook suffering, both human or otherwise. For me anyway, to fall in love with the world is to look up at the night sky and feel your mind swim before the beauty and the distance of the stars. It is to hold your children while they cry and watch the sycamore trees leaf out in June. When my breastbone starts to hurt, and my throat tightens and tears well in my eyes, I want to look away from feeling. I want to deflect with irony or anything else that will keep me from feeling directly. We all know how loving ends. But I want to fall in love with the world anyway, to let it crack me open. I want to feel what there is to feel while I am here.”

― John Green, The Anthropocene Reviewed

Quote

the most infuriating thought occurred to me the other day: there hasn't been one single moment since the day I met you when I have looked at you and not felt anything; no moment when I have looked into your blue eyes and my heart didn't want you.

sometimes I think I’ll never stop loving you, no matter how bad I want to // m.e.k.

when I look at him, I feel like a small kid who's staring at the moon knowing that you’d never get to make it yours but still chooses to admire it every day.

His arm tugged underneath her pillow while she rolled to the side, resting her hand on his chest. "Finally living my dream." She smiles with her eyes closed. He chuckles, "What dream?", as he smiles at her fondly. "Just being able to fall asleep next to you. Cuddled up with you. Saying good night to you in person, followed by a kiss." She opens her eyes to him smiling from ear to ear. He rolls on top of her to give all the flying kisses in the world, not breaking his big smile in between her cute laughs and giggles.

k.b. // is that what being in love feels like?

1:10

You’re still the one I think of when I have things to tell; and when I wore your sweatshirt yesterday I realized how much I missed your smell. It lingered…

Like all the things I’ve mentally made note of since the day we met, it stained my brain the way we stained your counter with the red wine we drank

Or the way I’d stand to lock your hair after a late afternoon beach run; like the touch of your warm skin that embraces me like the sun

Like the words to the song you wrote, the art drew or the sculpture you made; the look on your face when you showed me

You linger…

I wake up in the middle of the night trying to sleep, the night is silent and I can't hear a peep. "How did I wake up" I ask myself, and then I look at my bed seeing that it's only me and no one else. I'm missing you and wanting you to be here, if I'm going to be honest losing you is my biggest fear. Maybe we'll be together soon, and I'm praying these feelings won't change like the moon.

I dedicate gorgeous to him because the first time we met I did mock how he spoke and I couldn’t pinpoint his accent but now ages later his voice is my favorite sound and when he’s holding our baby and singing to her I think I’ll fall in love all over again.

"I won't leave you" "I won't leave you" "I won't leave you" He said I'm sorry I could hardly believe

I could already picture you packing your clothes, leaving the essence walking out, leaving your footsteps withdrawing your hands, leaving the spaces empty

How do you not understand that all people do is leave Memories are something which remain People leave and move on People die and are reborn Memory stays, memory hurts

Remembering, remembering, remembering Yearning, yearning, yearning Pain is all

I've never

I've never had a knife to my heart, but I came pretty close today.

I've never felt the pain of my heart being bludgeoned and feel the blood pour out. But today, today I came pretty close.

I've never felt that sharp pain, you know that pain? It's almost like the sharpest pinch, but in your heart, its such discomfort and sometimes, it removes the ability to see.

I've never felt a fist impact my chest, and my chest love it.

I've never been so hurt, and happy I feel such hurt.

I have never

I've never missed anyone the way I miss you.

I've never cried so erratically

I've never longed to see anyone's else's parents

I've never told anyone that I lost the love of my life, the heart mine beats for.

I mean why would I? It's not me who passed, It's not my mother who had to say goodbye to her child. It's not my life that was taken. So why, why when I hear your name or see your birthdate why do I feel this way.

In the delicate chambers of a fragile heart, emotions dance like fragile butterflies, fluttering with the gentle breeze of hope and despair.

The idea of what if is exhausting. It’s supposed to be supportive. Exhilarating. Pushing you to see what else is to come. Lately what if feels like a life sentence. A never ending broken promise. Something that is holding me hostage from being able to find my freedom from this moment in time. Freedom from this life I’ve been plagued with. What if, was meant to be supportive, and encouraging. But instead it’s the warden keeping me locked into a life I never asked for; and can’t seem to figure out.

I was driving home today at the edge of dark, the time perfectly in between night and day. The sun was setting, and it was the most beautiful sunset I had seen in a while, so many bright shades of pink and purple and orange like tie-dye in the sky. There were no other cars on the road, just me, and it was so peaceful. All I could think about was you. I could almost see you sitting there in the passenger seat, smiling at me. I think you were there with me, probably wearing a tie-dye t-shirt to match the sunset. I could feel it. I bet you see tie-dye sunsets like that every day where you are. I bet you helped paint this one just for me.

tie-dye sunsets // m.e.k.

You asked me about how my exam went and refused to go when your friend called you downstairs. Your foot touched mine a few times, intentionally or not. Your eyes were on mine and you were talking to me while I leaned back on the wall, subtly admiring you, something I could do forever. You fooled around me and I pretended to act annoyed while trying so hard not to smile. It's been a while, and my heart has never felt this easy since the last time you said ‘i love you’. I thought I moved on, but I'm still stuck there, with you, between the whispers we shared.

The Void

I don’t know what it was about me that made people want to hurt me, but they did so with every move. Was like a quick fix to get them off, a bet to see who could break me the most, whoever succeeded got the last parts of me. I let people in, time and time again, for the same cycles to repeat. I let people in, I show them the darkest parts of me and they promise they’ll never let the light go out. Except their standing there with the flashlight slowly fading, watching me slip further into darkness. They don’t care how deep you fall because according to them, you feel nothing at all. I gave you what was left of me and you showed me it was not enough. I realized with time it wasn’t the men I was chasing but the pain, the pain becomes addicting when it’s all that ever stays. You promised you wouldn’t leave, but you ran fast and never turned your back to see where you left me. I stopped jumping every time I fell and slowly sunk into my void. There in the void, are all the things I’ll forever keep buried. There in the void, the feelings surface of all the pain I kept running from. There in the void, is you.
