“When he’s around, I don’t feel like I have to be so invincible. When he’s with me, I feel like I can just be cared for without being weak. Like it’s okay to be vulnerable, because he’d never use it against me.”
you have haunted my dreams and my thoughts. i have memorized the slant of your brow and the wave in your hair, the sweep of your lashes and the rhythm of your steps. i would know you blind, deaf, numb, in this world or any other.
When you’re near me, I smell lavender on your hair. When you smile, I catch a taste of honey. Your skin is warm against mine, and when you touch me, I feel more than magic.
Adrienne Tooley, Sweet & Bitter Magic
“Perhaps your dream
drifted from mine
and through the dark sea
was seeking me
as before,
when you did not yet exist,
when without sighting you.”
— Pablo Neruda
