❛ did i dream you ? ❜

❛ are you real ? are you anything of flesh , do you breathe ? ❜

❛ my mother taught me many things but she did not teach me this. ❜

❛ you knew me , as though i was a piece of you , something you’d been missing. ❜ 

❛ i didn’t realise i was still afraid. ❜

❛ if i die here , what happens to you ? ❜

❛ sometimes , when i look out of your mirror at you , i think that i am looking at a piece of my own soul. ❜

❛ sometimes i think i would eat you if i could. ❜

❛ where does it come from , the thread that ties us together ? ❜

❛ there are– systems , like you said to me. there are rules that can’t be broken. ❜

❛ last time you were here , you just kept saying you were lost. ❜

❛ you know some of my secrets , i know some of your secrets. ❜

❛ we were equals now , or people made equal by virtue of having shared something terrible. ❜

❛ once you’re inside , it doesn’t matter anymore– you leave pieces of yourself in there. ❜

❛ that’s what this house does , it eats parts of you. ❜

❛ i’m all in pieces. bits of me are echoes. ❜

❛ i was lost when i came here first. so some of me will always be lost. ❜

❛ i went in for coffee and most of me never came out. ❜

❛ that house got its claws in you, too. ❜

❛ you know that feeling when you realise that something’s been out of joint , and you just haven’t noticed it up until right that moment ? ❜

❛ sometimes i get angry. it doesn’t happen very often , but when it does it’s like– it’s like something inevitable. ❜

❛ you need to stop talking about it. ❜

❛ i didn’t tell you this before , but you were in my dream last night. ❜

❛ hold with the hare and run with the hounds. it means someone who takes a stance against something , but then goes on to do that exact thing. ❜

❛ there’s too much white noise in our heads. ❜

❛ but animals only follow their instincts. they are pure in a way i am not. ❜

❛ if this was a fair story , you would have already come back to me. ❜

❛ i have been stuck down here in the dark with nothing but your voice going on and on. ❜

❛ this is a nation haunted by its fictions. ❜

❛ what feeds our engines , if not fairy tales ? ❜

J.   TRELAWNY   AESTHETIQUE,   PARTNERS    CAN    REBLOG.

❛ general opinion makes out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but i don’t see that. ❜

❛ seems to me love is everywhere. ❜     

❛ if you look for it, i’ve got a sneaky feeling you’ll find love actually is all around. ❜

❛ this is shit, isn’t it ? ❜

❛ i love you even when you’re sick and look disgusting. ❜

❛ did i mention that i love you ? ❜

❛ i’m sorry, i literally don’t have anybody else to talk to. ❜ 

❛ there was more than one lobster present at the birth of jesus ? ❜

❛ shit, i can’t believe i’ve just said that. and now i’ve gone and said ‘shit’. twice. ❜

❛ i’ve worked out why i can’t find true love. ❜

❛ no, i-i just thought i’d ask bluntly in case it was the right question and you needed someone to talk about it and no one had ever asked you. ❜ 

❛ invite him out for a drink then casually mention you’d like to marry him and have lots of sex and babies. ❜

❛ christmas is a time for people with someone they love in their lives. ❜ 

❛ when i was young and successful i was greedy and foolish, and now i’m left with no one, wrinkled and alone. ❜

❛ ask me anything, i’ll tell you the truth. ❜

❛ i’m not going to act like a petulant child. ❜ 

❛ who do you have to screw ‘round here to get a cup of tea and a biscuit ? ❜           

❛ i have to say, __, this is a real pleasure, it’s a pleasure to find someone i can actually chat to. ❜

❛ oh, christ, you haven’t got some horrible six-foot, tight-t-shirt wearing boyfriend ? ❜

❛ i’ll just be hanging around the mistletoe, hoping to be kissed. ❜  

❛ christ, he might be injecting heroin into his eyeballs for all i know. ❜

❛ get a grip. people hate sissies. ❜

❛ no one’s gonna shag you if you cry all the time. ❜

❛ aren’t you a bit young to be in love ? ❜

❛ well, basically you’re fucked, aren’t you ? ❜ 

❛ you’re still sickeningly handsome, whereas i look like my aunt mildred. ❜

❛ i love [pronoun] and true love lasts a lifetime. ❜

❛ fuck - it’s freezing ! fuck ! ❜

❛ it’s my favourite time of the day…driving you. ❜

❛ it’s the saddest part of my day, leaving you. ❜

❛ i’m nice. i really am. apart from my terrible taste in pie and…it would be great if we could be friends. ❜

❛ it’s a…self-preservation thing, you see. ❜

❛ you know, __, i’m sure [pronoun] is/are unique and extraordinary but general wisdom is that in the end, there isn’t just one person for each of us. ❜

❛ i think it’s brilliant, i think it’s stellar. apart from the one obvious tiny little baby little hiccup. ❜ 

❛ i promise to sing a song stark naked on tv on christmas eve. ❜   

❛ why don’t you come upstairs in about ten seconds ? ❜ 

❛ of course, if you want me to come over i will. ❜

❛ sorry to be a bit forward and all that but…you don’t fancy going for a christmas drink, do you ? i mean, nothing implied. just maybe go and see something christmassy or something. ❜

❛ normally, i’m really shy, takes me ages to get the courage up, so thank you. ❜ 

❛ come on, come on, come on, we’re horribly late. ❜

❛ the thing about romance is people only get together at the very end. ❜  

❛ by the way, i feel bad. i never ask you how your love life is going. ❜

❛ much as it grieves me to say it, it might be that the people i love is in fact…you. ❜

❛ it’s a terrible, terrible mistake…but you turn out to be the fucking love of my life. ❜

❛ if you can’t say it at christmas, when can you, eh ? i’m actually yours. ❜ 

❛ __, you’ve got nothing to lose and you’ll always regret it if you don’t. ❜
