You told me you loved me.

It was late and our clothes were somewhere else,

and I thought it.

I thought it when you played your guitar

for me,

and when you slow danced with me

to the Ray Charles record playing

in your room.

I thought it all the time.

And you pulled me close

and whispered in my ear,

you told me you loved me

and your body shook from

the power of your words,

and I cried.

I cried because you meant it.

You meant it in the kisses that

preceded and followed,

you meant it in every song you sang me,

you meant it in every touch we shared,

every laugh,

every breath,

and your body shook with the power of the words

and I cried,

and it scared you, yeah,

you laid your soul out like you never have,

but it’s ok because

I love you too.

“You’re not in love with me, not really, you just love the way I always made you feel. Like you were the centre of my world. Because you were. I would have done anything for you”

[impossiblepermanence]

lazy mornings, open windows, foreign languages, used books, small cafés, excited text messages, art galleries, sundresses, cobbled streets, fresh air, filled notebooks, feeling completely at ease, content smiles

romanticize the hell out of your life tbh? romanticize the freckle on your left ass cheek or getting gas at the station before sunset. make every moment a good memory. make yourself feel special because you are special and I’m tired of this attitude where we attack each other by saying “no one cares”

“Sometimes in late summer I won’t touch anything, not the flowers, not the blackberries brimming in the thickets; I won’t drink from the pond; I won’t name the birds or the trees; I won’t whisper my own name. One morning the fox came down the hill, glittering and confident, and didn’t see me—and I thought: so this is the world. I’m not in it. It is beautiful.”

— Mary Oliver, October (excerpt)
