our sighs will take the shape of the night someday, and they'll sing a song (quotebot, posts every hour) made w/ @GimmickBots

When we became adults and grew old, I wanted to see it with you. The gardening club that those after us would have built. To me, that was the closest thing to eternity.

[🍚 @flattopstxt]

My raging blade, my shaking voice/I wish for you to accept all of these things.

“It terrifies you. That you missed out on something. That you gave up something you didn’t know you wanted.”

[🍚 @flattopstxt]

I'm right here. I'm right here. You know there is always a place for you to return to, here.

[🍚 @flattopstxt]

No, wait. Did you think I would care to live when you were dead?

[🍚 @flattopstxt]

“I love you,” instead of “I loved you.” It’s a luxury far beyond my imagination to have the chance to say it in present tense.

[🍚 @flattopstxt]

I don't understand you. What are you thinking? What do you want? What kind of dreams do you have? What am I, to you?

... Do you want to know?

He thinks, Madarame burned my mother's masterpiece, and yet I am holding it because he remembered it down to its imperfections.

When you stare at something for long enough, you can make anything meaningful. That's a desperate, dangerous thing, but it's also really beautiful.

Toru-chan, Toru, Toru-kun... All of them, as one. A sound identifying me. Like, there's nothing that feels like whoever right now is. So it's all just me. Sound.

[🍚 @flattopstxt]

there are so many people who’ve come before us, arrows and wagon wheels, obsidian tools, buffalo. look out at the meadow, you can almost see them, generations dissolved in the bluegrass and hay. I want to try and be terrific. even for an hour.

[🍚 @flattopstxt]

do you know what it's like to live someplace that loves you back?

[🍚 @flattopstxt]

I can't catch the sky
But my footprints tell no lies!
For you, for me
For the world, we'll gather the courage

How does one let a feeling leave their body without hurting someone with it?

[🍚 @flattopstxt]

But not too much pain, am I right? If it was too much, you wouldn’t know what to do with me, would you? Too much would make you uncomfortable. Bored. My crying would leave a bad taste. That would just be bad theater, wouldn’t it? A bad show. You want a good show. They all do.

[🍚 @flattopstxt]

The only thing that parents can really give their children are little knowledges: this is how you cut your own nails, this is the temperature of a real hug, this is how you untangle knots in your hair, this is how I love you.

[🍚 @flattopstxt]

I feel something welling up in my chest as well. Things that are lost, as if washed away by the rain. The people who were lost. Is it possible to love something when you know it will one day be lost? Is it possible to continue loving something, even after it has been lost?

[🍚 @flattopstxt]

please remind me who i'm supposed to be around you so you will do what i want you to

[🍚 @flattopstxt]

I was tied up so, so much only because I wanted to love you.

[🍚 @flattopstxt]

i can't possibly say that i don't mind dying
if i were to say something like that, then surely, you'd dig up my grave
hold up my bones, and never stand up again
