all the things you have loved and lost

still have scratches and gashes

from when they were ripped from you

on the last day of love

my heart cracked inside my body

"Loving me will not be easy, it will be war. You will hold the gun, and I will hand you the bullets. So breathe, and embrace the beauty of the massacre that lies ahead."

"True love exists in moments stumbled upon by accident. In hospitals, in airports and underneath the stars. Gone before you realise it was there, missed before you knew you had it."

"She woke up every morning with the option of being anyone she wished. How beautiful it was that she always chose herself."

"I am made of words and rivers and winds and wildflowers. I am part grief and part hope and all love."

"I am thinking about you right now and I am sending you love, real love. The kind that warms the skin and waits all night to be held by the moon. The kind that reminds you of how beautiful you are under the day and the night and between what is left. The kind that does not wake the next day alone. This is me thinking about you tonight. This is me sending real love, all that there is to receive. The only gift worth sending."

"Life wasn't something we were supposed to be good at, it's something we're supposed to live through. I am just finding this out."

"She spent a life building walls, then sat there in her 'lonely' wondering why nothing grew."

"These roots of me go so deep, sometimes I get lost trying to find a new path. But thus heart of mine holds a home for grace, and anyone's soul who may need a new start."

"Dust if you must, but wouldn't it be better to paint a picture, or write a letter. Bake a cake, or plant a seed; ponder the difference between want and need? Dust if you must, but there's not much time, with rivers to swim and mountains to climb; music to hear, and books to read; friends to cherish, a life to lead. Dust if you must, but the world's out there. With the sun in your eyes and the wind in your hair. A flutter of snow, a shower of rain. This day will not come around again. Dust if you must, but bear in mind, old age will come and it's not kind. And when you go (and go you must), you, yourself, will make more dust."

"I lied and said I was busy. I was busy, but not in a way most people understand. I was busy taking deeper breaths. I was busy silencing irrational thoughts. I was busy calming a racing heart. I was busy telling myself I am okay. Sometimes this is my busy, and I will not apologise for it."

"Now I have to remember you for longer than I have known you."

"I'd like to think that if we never speak again, one day you'll look back on me fondly, as someone who didn't fear the future when they pictured you by their side. I'd like to think you'll remember me as somebody who loved you the best they could. Even if it wasn't always what you wanted or needed. I'd like to think you'll remember me as somebody you could have spent your life with, if only we'd worked for it just a little harder."

"If he says your body is ruined because it has been touched by another man's hands before his. Ask him how many women's bodies have his hands ruined? And what is wrong, in his mind, with a man's hands that they only know how to ruin a woman's body, rather than love it."

"So I loved you hard, cause when I love, I love. I smother. I, I told you this. I won't miss a kiss. This is what I need and you agreed, said our love was guaranteed. So I made space to feel, and even though it wasn't real, it was beautiful while it lasted and I will eventually move past it, but this hurt is unbearable. Nothing to do but cry. You're not my love. Goodbye."

"I loved you before I was born. It doesn't make sense, I know."
