I really love the way nice things remind me of my favourite people. Pretty sunsets make me think of a particular warm smile, a bite of something delicious has me wondering if they’d like it too. A new song, a gorgeous view, a sunny morning— they’re in every beautiful thing I see.

Real yearners know that sometimes love is like being an art enthusiast at a museum touching beautiful things with nothing but our eyes, longing from afar.

I don’t think Eurydice minded that Orpheus looked back. Doesn’t it prove it? That he loved her so much he went looking for her. He loved her so much he couldn’t bear to look away.

It’s always about the flirt to roast ratio and the banter to fluster quota. It’s about how many buttons you can press before they undress you with a smile or the perfect reply. The first to untuck their heart from under their sleeve loses, or maybe wins it all.

Some people just go together really well. If we’re all made of starstuff, they fell out of the same one.

Not a first love but the last one. The one that will stain the memory and linger within the cage of ribs where the heart lives. Not a first love but a forever one.

No stars in the sky tonight because they all ended up in your eyes. It’s my fault; I asked the moon to look after you.

I’m often reminded that my heart doesn’t live inside my chest at all. I’ve given pieces of it away to the people I love and they carry them around in their pockets wherever they go.

Comfort is the home you once knew and still do, the voice you missed, the smile you always come back to.
Comfort is you.

Let’s play a game of Truth or Dare.
Truth: I love you the most.
Dare: Love me back, just a little.

Crushes are so pathetic. Why am I staring. Why am I stuttering. Why is the colony of butterflies in my stomach suddenly taking flight. Get UP, heart, you’re embarrassing me.

You will never know I deleted several paragraphs full of naked truths pulled straight from my lovesick heart just to text you, ‘hope you’re well, don’t get sick.’

I have never been able to be subtle about the things I like. Not once. I only know how to let my love fill up my heart until it spills over and everyone sees it pooling around my feet.

If I were a little bolder, I'd say my favorite wine reminds me of you.

If I were so much braver, I'd admit that I didn't have a favorite wine before you.

But I'm a coward, so I'll play coy.

Every time I buy a bottle, I'll claim I love the sweetness, the depth.

Let them think I mean the wine.

All I want from life is to read books, pet cats, and see some incredible sights every now and then.
