wordsnquotes:

“It’s funny about love, [she] said. The more you love someone, the less [they] like you back.That’s very true, Grandmother observed. And so what do you do?You go on loving, [she] said threateningly. You love harder and harder.”

— Tove Jansson,  The Summer Book

wordsnquotes:

“I love being horribly straightforward. I love sending reckless text messages (because how reckless can a form of digitized communication be?) and telling people I love them and telling people they are absolutely magical humans and I cannot believe they really exist. I love saying, Kiss me harder, and You’re a good person, and, You brighten my day. I live my life as straight-forward as possible. Because one day, I might get hit by a bus. Maybe it’s weird. Maybe it’s scary. Maybe it seems downright impossible to just be—to just let people know you want them, need them, feel like, in this very moment, you will die if you do not see them, hold them, touch them in some way whether its your feet on their thighs on the couch or your tongue in their mouth or your heart in their hands. But there is nothing more beautiful than being desperate. And there is nothing more risky than pretending not to care. We are young and we are human and we are beautiful and we are not as in control as we think we are. We never know who needs us back. We never know the magic that can arise between ourselves and other humans. We never know when the bus is coming.”

— Rachel C. Lewis, Tell The People You Love That You Love Them.

lifeinpoetry:

I won’t tell anyone how I’m doing.

Every day is this routine,
this song-and-dance, this
“let’s just affirm and forget,”

and I don’t know what
happens if I don’t have it.

— Mia You, from “Trench Lyric,” published in PEN America

soulreserve:

we stray back
you and I
to those feelings
we once had,
to that time
when things were simple,
we leap
sometimes
we stream through
everything that is going
on now,
we leave the present
for that place
back then,
I close my eyes
and see you
open your eyes and smile
at me,
the sun makes you
squint
and curtains float
on the lightest breeze
of that summer day.
