Her

I have seen her straight out of bed.

Bed hair, bed eyes and bed smile.

Lying on her favourite pillow, with her favourite cover

Drawn up her body like the most fragile ferocious shield

Waking up after a night that seems to go on forever;

Relentless, tiresome ticking away of seconds that gushed in with anxiety and misery.

I have seen her calling it a night when the sun is about to shine and waking up feeling perplexed with no recollection of how she survived the darkness.

I have seen her straight out of bed and she has looked like the most exotic and lonely thing to walk Earth.

And I do not remember loving anyone else so fiercely.

It’s like he’s got two emotions - pissed off and sadistically amused.

Rainbow Rowell, Carry On (via the-book-diaries)

I asked the universe to fall in love And the universe answered First I fell in love with the dirt beneath my feet Molding itself around each step I planted Then I fell in love with the growing seeds, brushing against my ankles Even the weeds didn’t hold me back, for I loved them too Next I loved the sea, crashing against my kneecaps with fury and grace With each cold wave I was reminded of the warmth in my breath After that I loved the air, pushing me forward And forcing my stubborn gaze upon a new horizon Finally I looked up, and loved the sunlight Shining on my skin, nourishing a glow no one else could replicate Soon after, I met you I remembered how wonderful it felt to love And thought, perhaps, it might feel just as good to love you I asked the universe to fall in love And the universe answered I saw your disgust at the mud paths I walked along As you criticized the thorns prodding my ankles When the sea crashed a little too hard, you did not attempt to lift me up But instead only showed your strength to pull me away from the wind’s current Then, I found that when I looked to the sky, the sun no longer shined the way it used to Instead it lay dark, covered by a single greedy cloud So I decided not to love you For as much as I loved to love And tried to love The universe answered And the answer was no

(a.e.)

You care and it’s all over the place.

Tell me if I’m doing something weird. Sometimes I can’t tell.
