House of Libra

Let's Talk Facts.

“Do not fall in love with people like me. I will take you to museums, and parks, and monuments, and kiss you in every beautiful place, so that you can never go back to them without tasting me like blood in your mouth. I will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible. And when I leave you will finally understand, why storms are named after people.”

You keep me safe and I’ll keep you wild.

And now it’s in you, secrecy. Ancient and vicious, luscious as dark velvet. It blooms in you a poppy made of ink.

How I love you: through whispered words and late night messages. with longing looks and kissy faces. arms holding empty air and promises of tomorrow. from a distance, but one hundred percent true.

there was a time when we laid on your bed with the ceiling fan turning in dizzy circles above our heads and forgot to look at the clock. there was a time when we drank the kind of wine that gives you a sweet ache in your teeth and talked about the people we loved before we knew each other existed. there was a time when we felt so safe in your cheap apartment with the front door locked against the past. if someone would have told me that in two years, I would be doing the same thing across town in a different bed, this time whispering your name when I counted old hurts, I would have screamed.

I notice Autumn is more the season of the soul than of nature.

People get drunk. They kiss the wrong person. And pretend to be okay. People will do anything to distract their heart. They will do anything to distract it from missing someone.

I love you. Remember. They cannot take it

Libra — darling child, didn’t the gods tell you the mob sees dancers as something of the devil, especially when their preferred stage is the sharp edge of a sword? few in this world love truth, and fewer still are fond of things like righteousness and justice. your ability to remain indiscriminate in the face of contradictory realities and deny none of them is both a blessing and a curse. your mind, I fear, is the Pandora fate has crafted specifically for you; a beautiful gift that hides such doom and sorrow. and you are aware of all of this – how you were meant for greater things, with your noble mind and your true heart, yet on you dance, fighting against the windmills of adversity. how brave you are. (know that your effort will not go without reward. know that you won’t be forever unloved, nor will you be forever misunderstood. there will be those whom, like you, have the makings of just men, and they will understand. keep your eyes open and search the crowd; that is what you do best.)

I have a million things to talk to you about. All I want in this world is you. I want to see you and talk. I want the two of us to begin everything from the beginning.
