we talk of plans that are going to happen.we talk of the future, as if we know we will last.there is a sort of comfort in that.

the opening,the breaking,the falling apartis always so quick.the hurting,the healing,the putting back togetheris always too long.

i can't hold onto love.i'm not gentle enough.i always end upcrushing the thingin between my fingertips.

we get brave.we move.we believe.we keep going.

everything i know about loveis that it hurtsand is almost always never returnedthe way you want it to.but i have hopebecause i do not know everything.

you giver of light.you lover of love.you beautifulbeautifulhuman being you.

the hope is smallbut it is everything.

my strength should not threaten you.my strength is not a threat to your strength.you are strong.you are beautiful.you are lush.you are powerful.as you are.as i am.imagine the force we would be togetherif we lifted each other up.imagine the force we would be togetherif we didn't tear each other down.

i took a night drive.i needed to get away.i needed to knowit's okay to goand have no destination,where time moves slowor doesn't exist.that life can be like this,aimless wandering,just breathing,living,driving forever underneath the stars.

i am changingand i am loving change.

every choice i have ever made after you existedhas been dependent on exactlyhow close i can have you next to meand how long i can get you to stay.

i am soft again.there is water and it surrounds me.there is feeling and i can feel it.i am awake and aliveand swollen and heavy with love.i am changingand i am loving change.

i am awake and aliveand swollen and heavywith love.

i'm so hookedon how your mind works,on what you notice,on everything that excites you.i'm so caught up inhow you see the world,how you see everythingand still offer up your lovefor all to take it.you give me a glimpse of your heartand i can't tell youhow much you turn me on.

i feel everything.i do not know how to un-feeland to not feelis to stop the sun.

i took it off.i did not want to carry it with me anymore.

i wanted to destroy you.you are mine to ruin.something so beautifulshould only exist for me.

let your love cover me like skin.i want the whole world to see.

we talk of plans that are going to happen.we talk of the future,as if we know we will last.there is a sort of comfort in that.

i know it all ends the same,but i was interested in seeinghow you would break my heart.

you came in slowly like the fogand consumed me.

i want so much to touch youwhere my hands cannot.

hold company with yourself so sacredthat even when you are alone,you are whole.

some people are so deepyou fall into themand you never stop falling.

i over love.i under love.i am either a floodor i am nothing.

i swallowed the syllables of your nameand i was full.

do not let anyone inuntil they love you so fiercely,you have no defense against their love.

you giver of light.you lover of love.you beautifulbeautifulhuman beingyou.

you have outgrown this skin.stop trying to hold it in.stop trying to hold it together.let yourself break.

you wanted it all to make senseand you wanted the most complicated answer,but the answer is simple.just be.

remember you are capable of the most powerful thing in the universe.you are capable of love.

oh, the heartbreakingly beautifultender weight of being human.

i just want to be honest about my feelings without destroying everything.

love yourself first,and you will always be in love.

no one needs love from youmore than you need love from you.love yourself first,and you will always be in love.

and sadness clung to mebecause she did not knowhow to be alone.

there's always been a little sadness inside my happiness.i've never been able to separate the two.

things keep falling in and out of place.this is the universe's way of taking care of me.

there is a difference betweenloneliness and solitude,one will empty you andone will fill you.you have the power to choose.

i sometimes think i'm too in love with alone.who could i love more than this peace?

i am a womanand i am alone,and i cannot tellwhich one of the twoi love being more.

i am like the moon--sometimes, full.sometimes, black.sometimes,forever and ever alone.

i open for you like a flower.i let you in like a new day.

woman--another word for beginning.another word for revolution.another word for healing.another word for being.another word for me.

show me all the parts of youthat you do not loveso i know where to begin.

love is myself in the mirror.i will see love every time.

you're going to love your way out of this.out of the hurt.out of the pain.you're going to love your way out of it and be free.

you came in slowly like the fog and consumed me.

stay too closeand she will leave.stay too farand she will leave.distance is too delicate a thing.

you need to be careful with me.i fall in loveand i fall in love forever.

let me tell you i'm in love with you. let me tell you that the first thing i do when i wake is think of you. let me be completely honest about this-- about what you mean to me.let me take it there without ruining everything.

i know it all ends the same, but i was interested in seeing how you would break my heart.

stay curious and stay the brave, strong, unrelenting soldier of love that you are.

i sometimes think i'm too in love with alone. who could i love more than this peace?

keep following your heart.it won't always be easy, but it'll be the most important thing you'll do.

i am learning that when love wants to stay it will stay.i am learning that when love wants to go it will go.

everyone is in a hurry and things are always disappearing, and i am always left standing here--alone, waiting for the things that stay.

there is something magical and addicting about going somewhere, being alone, and finding yourself in parts of the world you never knew existed, finding parts of yourself you never knew you would find.

i let you love me.i let you take care of me.i let you do things to meno one was allowed to do before.

they say people only hear what they want to hear,but i don't know if that is always true, i've been wanting to hear your heart and it's as silent as the moon.

i am not a jealous person,but when i am with you,the thought of someone elsepulling your attention away from mekills me a little insideeach time.

through the rose glass window in their beautiful new home, you stare at the love you gave away.

it is hard not to count the hoursi have left with you.it is hard to be here now--knowing everything between uswill come to an end.

oh, the heartbreakingly beautiful tender weight of being human.

i would've done anything to make you happy.i think you knew that.i think this is why you knew you had to let me go.

you'd take one look at me and whole pieces of the earth would break off and fall away finally leaving me alone with you.

i do not know how to live tepidly.i was never built to fit in.i live by my souland my soul is insane.

i am a woman and i am alone,and i cannot tell which one of the twoi love being more.

love is my thighs,this belly,my eyes.love is my speech,the search,my cry.love is myself in the mirror.i will see love every time.

woman-another word for beginning.another word for revolution.another word for healing.another word for being.another word for me.

the woman is rain,and when she falls,she is a monsoon.to love her is to drown.

you wanted it all to make senseand you wanted the most complicated answer, but the answer is simple.just be.

my feelings tend to last longerthan my lovers doand it's made a monsterout of my heart.

there's always been a little sadnessinside my happiness.i've never been able to separate the two.

you are not the storythey keep telling about youover and over again.you are not even the storyyou keep telling yourself.there are no linesthat can hold you.there are not enough wordsfor all the more that you are.

things keep falling in and out of place. this is the universe's way of taking care of me.

show me all the parts of you that you do not love so i know where to begin.

let the stars inside you breathe,before the darkness swallows them whole.let them burn through your skin and light thiswhole goddamn world on fire.

i act harder than i am.i am softer than i look.

let the stars inside you breathe,before the darkness swallows them whole.let them burn through your skinand light this whole goddamn world on fire.

you're going to love your way out of this.out of the hurt.out of the pain.you're going to love your way out of itand be free.

i know i can't do much, but i can do a little and i'm going to do as much of that as i can.but if we all do that--we can make a big difference.
