[quote bot @tatterednote]

you have to life or die as mine / as long as I’m alive, you can’t belong to anyone else

[quote bot @tatterednote]

Love as an emotion comes easily when it's right; love as an act though requires understanding. Yourself, what you want, where you want to be with the other person. All that before you understand them. And then you have to make the call: do we have enough me right now to be an us?

The most beautiful part of your body is where it’s headed
& remember, loneliness is still time spent with the world

To be alive: not just the carcass
But the spark.
That's crudely put, but...

[quote bot @tatterednote]

Tell me how all this, and love too, will ruin us.

These, our bodies, possessed by light.

Tell me we’ll never get used to it.

[quote bot @tatterednote]

I think you were destined to come into my life, I just don’t know the reason yet

[quote bot @tatterednote]

I know I said some things about needing space—but you are not the moon or the sun, a planet or a dwarf star. I do not know if distance from you will ever sit right with me
(even if it has to).

(I think it has to.)

my body is a garden rooted in gratitude. thank you is the biggest poem i’ve got inside of me.

[quote bot @tatterednote]

I loved you to the point of ruin. I loved you until my lungs were filled with ash.

[quote bot @tatterednote]

It’s always raining inside me, all the faucets on, water running, everything leaking, everything monsoon.

[quote bot @tatterednote]

In another life, I would’ve really loved doing laundry & taxes with you

[quote bot @tatterednote]

Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.

[quote bot @tatterednote]

I wish you to know that you have been the last dream of my soul.

[quote bot @tatterednote]

Tell me, what else should I have done?

Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?

Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?
