There are very few friends that will sit with you on empty streets in the middle of the night, without a word. No questions, no asking why, just quietly there with you, observing the stars, until you're ready to get back up on your feet again and walk the last bit home, and then they say in a quiet way 'I'm here'. It was a beautiful night.

OH to write a letter confessing my love to the boy I’ve loved for years but hadn’t known. And OHHH to receive a love letter, weighing on my table but tearing it off before I could read because I was maddening with anger. And OHH to finally have the most perfect kiss after all misunderstanding dissipates like thin air. 

When is it my turn to have a tragical romance when this generation doesn’t even understand the word itself?

In the future... if by some miracle you ever find yourself in the position to fall in love again... fall in love with me.

I am to hold

Hold me like a priest holds his cross Put your faith in me Worship, believe, surrender Even if it makes you question the reality Even if it makes you leave everyone behind Even if it consumes your soul We are beyond life and death Hold me faithfully and never let go Shatter my faith but never let go         // Amare et sapere vix deo conceditur // Even a god finds it hard to love and be wise at the same time.   Hold me like a killer holds his knife Let me lure you into my darkness Obsess, madden, addict Even if I make you commit sins Even if I'm tainted Even if I infect your soul We are beyond right or wrong Hold me violently and never let go Do me violence but never let go   // Amor et melle et felle est fecundissimus // Love is rich with both honey and venom.
