“I told him I was too me to be a part of his world. He smiled and caressed my cheek, his lips hovering over mine as he whispered, “and that’s why I love you so much baby, you’re everything I’ve ever dreamed of.””

- g.d (love me for me)

I’ve never been a fan of freckles, but wow, the way yours dot your skin like a thousand stars in a clear sky lights up my world.

And no, I’ve never really had a thing for brown eyes but yours have captured me and I never want to escape.

Yes, I said I like straight hair but your tiny curls and waves move so beautifully.

Oh, how every part of you amazes me. How your smile is like a billion fireworks, how your laugh makes me giddy.

Oh, how in love I am with you.

“When we first met, it was an undeniable connection that formed between us. The emotions appeared familiar and foreign at the same time. She always held my attention, no matter how much time had passed by. And when she admitted to our mutual attraction, there was no way we would ever just be friends afterwards.

She found me at my worst. A dark cloud surrounded my life, immersing me into the endless rain—drained of any color. She was the rays of sunlight that broke through the clouds. She grabbed my hand and we ran; ran so damn far from those clouds. Since the beginning, her love has always been like the sun, warm and inviting.

Three and a half years later and all I can think about is how different my life is; in a good way. Her love, powerful and illuminating, is just as wonderful since the first day. Life wouldn’t be the same without her. I love her so much—with every bone in my body, with every pound of my heart and every breath in my lungs, I love her.”

“The intricate and delicate threads of love surround two lovers. Tightly bound together, each thin thread would be tested for a breaking point. All of the obstacles the two lovers come across would be worth overcoming. Some moments could unravel the thread and they would be tethered by one fragile piece, stretching unbearably thin.

It takes courage and attachment to reel in those threads and be entirely connected again. If two lovers could survive the push and pull of each other, they could do anything they desire in this life and the next—always finding each other, as they would recognize the familiar pull of the threads of love.”

“When you find a love that consumes you, that encourages you to be a better person, it’s the type of love you never want to let go. Every moment is bliss and the more time passes by, each moment is greatly cherished. Every day is a new day with that person and you can’t get enough of each other—even in the good and bad times.

Love is the most beautiful thing this world has to offer. Finding someone to be with, to undoubtedly trust and love, has been worth every moment. She’s the light in my life, the only person I wouldn’t mind spending an eternity with. She makes me incredibly happy and loved every single day, and I couldn’t be luckier to have her by my side.”

“Her willingness through the hard times has kept me afloat. There are days where the past overwhelms the present and she’s there, guiding me to become a better person than I was yesterday. Her words hold reassurance. Her love surrounds me day after day, and the darkness melts away, showing the path to happiness.

It hasn’t been easy. Life is hard sometimes and negative emotions can cause problems, but with her by my side, I feel like I can do anything; become anything. So when the darkness of the past seeps into the present, she’s always there, cheering me on from the sidelines and telling me that it’s only temporary and that eventually everything will be okay.”

“When connecting with a soul; someone to spend all of your time with, to love during the storms and the blue skies, to appreciate the warmth and the rain, that’s the most beautiful thing. Even during the downpour, there’s so much to be aware of. To wipe away the tears and speak the promises of sun shine yet to come, that’s when love takes over.

Giving your soul and heart to someone, with simple promises of the future, is to accept that the sun will not always be out. Sometimes it’ll be hidden under the gathering of clouds. But seeing them smile, that warmth, will be enough in the meantime. By appreciating the person who gives you endless clear skies, is treasuring their sometimes cloudy days. Love will always overcome rainfall.”

“There’s a fine line between love and lust. They balance each other out. The way her smile shines and how her voice can bring anyone to their knees, to the craving of holding each other’s hands, to having her body against yours for warmth—that’s love.

When lust comes into the picture, it is when looking at her causes a torrent of arousal to stir deep and envisioning what will happen when you’re finally alone. When her voice seduces, shivers run up and down the spine. Each time she’s around, those lips look more appealing by the second.

It’s beautiful when both occur at the same time. Her kisses are filled with promises of the future, as well as the pleasure that is yet to come. Her touch not only lights skin on fire but the soul too. And her eyes not only shine with love, but glisten with desire.”

“There’s something about loving a woman. The way she talks about her favorite things with a sparkle in her eyes to the way she looks at you when she’s craving passion. The sudden flood of emotions when she tells you she loves you more than anything in the world.

There’s something about loving a woman. The warmth of her hand when she reaches to grab yours. When she traces her fingertips against your skin like a paintbrush capturing beauty, it makes every nerve-ending spark like a firecracker.

There’s something about loving a woman. When she cries, you not only feel her emotions in your soul, but you ache with her. When she’s having a bad day, your thoughts consist of ways to cheer her up since you love her beautiful breath-taking smile. When you tell her you’re in love with her, that’s also accepting her flaws and things that she does not love about herself.

When it comes to loving a woman, you have to deal with the good days just as much as the bad days. Sometimes she’ll be upset or will cry, but you understand to be there for her whenever she needs you. And some days, she’ll be craving to touch your skin and speak of only sweet things about the future.”

“When you’ve been with someone for so long, you fall into a rhythm, a pattern consisting of familiarity. Familiarity is great. It is the most important part of any relationship. At the same time, there are also some bad things about falling into patterns, some habits that can consume happiness and become destructive and self-sabotaging.

No relationship will be at a consistency of one-hundred percent happiness. And again, that’s okay, it’s fine. But once the contentment slowly slips away and all that remains is the familiarity that doesn’t feel genuine anymore, that’s a horrible sign. Suddenly, your partner isn’t satisfied doing the same things over and over again. Suddenly, the unsatisfactory allows itself into the relationship and complicates love languages and what the relationship lacks. Suddenly, nothing feels right and the unhappiness constantly makes the relationship feel heavier.

But it’s not always going to be hard. There will be good days. The love is felt and the connection stronger than it has been in a long time. But when bad begins to cover the good, it appears that there has been no good to begin with. That’s entirely wrong. Good has always remained, underneath the struggles. Where there’s positivity and hope, that’s the sign to keep fighting, to keep improving, to keep listening and changing.

Nothing is perfect, which is a constant reminder these days. The habits of patterns can be broken and there can be a time to refresh and start over. The unhappiness and unsatisfactory will someday fade and all that will remain is the constant love you have for them and a wonderful future of hardships and challenges yet to come.”

date a dork who wears glasses

i am looking through my phone tonight while you wash dishes ten feet away, and i am thinking, as i have thought so often lately, about loss. you poke fun at me for avoiding the word death: “if something happens,” i say. but something has happened. in the years i’ve loved you i’ve been a thousand changing faces, and i hope to be a thousand more. i’ve been a thousand versions of myself, and you a thousand versions of yours. and i’ve loved each and every one because that is what we do. we finish sentences and edit essays and each hold the most breakable pieces of the other inside the armor of ourselves.

each day brings little deaths and rebirths, losses and gains, but the constant has been you. your kindness and laughter; my hand on the nape of your neck the way you like to be comforted. our sweat and tears mingling the way these things do. what separates us from the day we met? nine years, two rings, three states, four degrees. tens of thousands of miles traveled, years lived apart. the loss of my father. mountains and valleys and sertraline prescriptions. and in all that space, somehow our hearts only managed to grow closer.

happy birthday, love.

Unattended

Dont want nobody else

If I ain’t got you

Its not worth it to pursue

Its means nothing if I’m without you

Letting you get the best of me

Is all I’ll ever want or need

I’m dying for your attention

So please dont leave me unattended

Love & Lust

“We were two hearts beating as one. Two vessels sharing one soul. Two bodies molding into a single silhouette. We were catastrophic. With madness we created euphoria.”

Poem #1

You said it won’t work.

So I went away.

With tears in my eyes.

I’m tired of hearing I’m sorry… cause when I look at you, deep down I know you’ll do again. And that’s what hurts me most…

i love seeing people i don’t know adore things i love. i love going through tags of my moon posts and seeing others swoon over the moon as well. i love seeing people get excited over the rain. and i love when i come across someone who is just as obsessed as i am with a certain book.
