I don’t want

 

I don’t want

I don’t want to say anything about

how dark it is right now, how quiet.

Those yellow lanterns among the trees,

cars on the road beyond the forest,

I have nothing to say about them.

And there’s half a moon as well

that I don’t want to talk about,

like those slow clouds edged

with silver, or the few unassembled stars.

There’s more to all of that than this,

of course, and you would know it

FOR YOU

better than most, better I mean

than any other, which is only

to say I had always intended

finding you here where I could

tell you exactly what I wanted to say

as if I had nothing to say

to anyone but you.

nobody’s love ever feels like yours… i miss yours

People, I have discovered, are layers and layers of secrets. You believe you know them, that you understand them, but their motives are always hidden from you, buried in their own hearts. You will never know them.

------

Be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.

------

Well, the rain had passed but the pain was still there.

------

i test people by telling them things they’ll wish they didn’t know

------

One day she remembered that it wasn’t her job to make everyone happy.

------

Always end the day with a positive thought. No matter how hard things were, tomorrow's a fresh opportunity to make it better.

------

My chest, my beloved — your land, your home, your homeland.

sorry i didn’t text back i was busy thinking about nothing for 5 hours straight
