Fall in love (again)
the seesaw, the in-between, the almost
go—
when all I ever think about is leaving
and saying goodbye and giving
way for better things
to fall into place, for here and now
what does that
make me courageous for
facing my fears or
a coward for running away
stay, if you may
for a day or up
only until midnight
oh please keep close
or better yet, just go.
You and my idea of you—I’ve learned they’re two entirely different things.
"There are just lots of possibilities in the world. I need to keep my mind open for what could happen and not decide that the world is hopeless if what I want to happen doesn’t happen. Because something else great might happen in between."
David Levithan & Rachel Cohn
"You like someone who can’t like you back because unrequited love can be survived in a way that once-requited love cannot."

Not another problem?!
Sometimes it makes me sick
I don’t even want to try anymore
I could’ve fought for you, you know:
But I was too weak and you
Wouldn’t even let me, just be
Brutally honest you were like always.
Constantly aware of what to do and not to—
if this or that or that or this is better
however strangely put things are, still
You never seem to bend and break until I
do: I know you and quite frankly although
it pains me to see you leave times like these
would be a reminder of moments past, and that’s
what really matters in the end. Yes, knowitall.
"You’re in a car with a beautiful boy, and he won’t tell you that he loves you, but he loves you. And you feel like you’ve done something terrible, like robbed a liquor store, or swallowed pills, or shoveled yourself a grave in the dirt, and you’re tired. You’re in a car with a beautiful boy, and you’re trying not to tell him that you love him, and you’re trying to choke down the feeling, and you’re trembling, but he reaches over and he touches you, like a prayer for which no words exist, and you feel your heart taking root in your body, like you’ve discovered something you didn’t even have a name for."
Richard Siken
The calm before, the storm, and the year after
"Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it’s the only way to live life completely."
