darkness

“Yes, there are times we live for somebody else.”

“I’ve spent most of my life and most of my friendships holding my breath and hoping that when people get close enough they won’t leave, and fearing that it’s a matter of time before they figure me out and go.”

“You know it’s love when all you want is that person to be happy, even if you’re not part of their happiness.”

“I have so much of you in my heart.”

“It’s tough to get out of bed; I know that myself. You can lie there for an hour and a half without thinking anything, just worrying about what the day holds and knowing that you won’t be able to deal with it.”

“Someone asked me what home was and all I could think of were the stars on the tip of your tongue, the flowers sprouting from your mouth, the roots entwined in the gaps between your fingers, the ocean echoing inside of your ribcage.”

“Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.”

“And silence, like darkness, can be kind; it, too, is a language.”
