A moment, a look I saw the sun wake up Behind your smile Reminds me
That I can try to forget you But you always will be The wave that drags me Who takes me to your sea
I get lost in your eyes And diving without thinking If I'll be back
I can try to forget you But you always will be The wave that drags me Who takes me to your sea
Engage me and take me Far from here
Você sempre será, de Marjorie Estiano (Portuguese to English)

"El tiempo no arregla nada, tan solo saca a la luz toda la suciedad que uno va acumulando con el paso de los años. Empiezas ignorando una de esas pelusas inofensivas que se acumulan en la esquina del salón y cuando quieres darte cuenta estás de mierda hasta el cuello".
La teoría de los archipiélagos de Alice Kellen.

When Matt Haig said "I wanted to be dead" and then in the next line he said "no, that's not quite right. I didn't want to be dead, I just didn't want to be alive." And there's an Arabic saying that goes by: "If you want to die, throw yourself in the ocean. You will find yourself fighting to survive. You don’t want to kill yourself. You want to kill something inside of you". And I think that's so accurate and painful to describe what's going on with most of us.

There's just something about books that is beyond inexpressible. The faint smell of ink and glue, the delicate thinness of paper, the touch of every page as you turn them ahead. The silent anticipation of what happens next, the rollercoaster of emotions you feel all through it. Who says books are things rather than lives, countless of them you live through pages?

I figured it out Saw the mistakes of up and down Meet in the middle There's always room for common ground
I see what it's like for day and night Never together 'Cause they see things in a different light They never tried, like us
You and I We don't want to be like them We can make it 'till the end Nothing can come between you and I Not even the Gods above Can separate the two of us
(You & I by One Direction)
Having them together is the ultimate answer against Lord Voldemort's entire ideology. It's a shame that Dramione isn't canonical, but I'm proud to have you as a common ground, to admire you, and to love you the way we thought it should be.
