Homeless Romantic

You will burn and you will burn out; you will be healed and come back again.

I try to find you, yet you are not here. / I’ve studied absence, fought to fill it in—

“I am a strong person. But every once in a while I would like someone to hold my hand and tell me things are going to be OK.”

“I don’t want you to think I got through this undamaged, okay? But I’m learning to live with it. Because otherwise, the damage is all you are.”

“Close the door. Remove the dust. Stop being who you were, and change into who you are.”

“I will not be another flower picked for my beauty and left to die. I will be wild, difficult to find, and impossible to forget.”

“Fall in love with someone who’s comfortable with your silence. Find someone who doesn’t need your words to know it’s time to kiss you.”

“I’m homesick all the time … I just don’t know where home is. There’s this promise of happiness out there. I know it. I even feel it sometimes. But it’s like chasing the moon - just when I think I have it, it disappears into the horizon.”

“Your heart understood mine. In the depth of the fragrant night, I listened with ravished soul to your beloved voice. Your heart understood mine.”
