"You tell me to be careful when I go into the ocean because it's deep and I could drown. But why the hell did you let me jump into your heart without warning me I was going to fall deep into it? At least if someone sees me drowning in an ocean they'll try to rescue me. But what if one day you realize you don't want me anymore. Who the hell is going to save me from not drowning in a heart that doesn't want me?" she said as she tried to breathe.

You bloom, little sweet darling, sunbeams all over your hair, marvelous, radiant, flaming like eyes, nurtured, swarmed by light.

[..] Since I’ve been incinerated, I’ve oft returned to this thought, that all things loved are pursued and never caught, even as you slept beside me you were flying off.

We bloom until we ache.

The moments we share are something I'm not ready to give up yet. To hear the sound of your slow breathing, to see your handsome ever so serious face become soft and peaceful in your sleep, to have your arms holding me tightly and most of all, to feel your warm skin on mine. It's temporary, all of it and we both know it but our temporary is my everlasting.
