I cannot begin to express the utter importance of a Library;

books showed her the stars before any spaceship did.

You should know… between your legs, lies a garden of tulips, And I can’t wait to kiss your (tu)-lips, Water you until wet, And lay over you like the Sun.

Hard to Love.

I’m sorry. I’m hard to love. A self conscious, insecure mess. Who loves too hard and gives so much. Trusts too much and at the same time not enough. Over thinker and under self lover. I’m sorry. I’ll try harder. But with this thing called love, I haven’t had enough practice. And somehow I know how to express it, Give it, Share it, Overflow my heart with it and not know where else to put it. I’m too much and still not enough. Appealing to eyes but not to souls. Curves all around but mind too much on the straight and narrow. I’m complicated, I know.

I’m so much and yet still not enough. So if you can’t stay, its okay, I know its not easy carrying my love anyway.

after all the times you had been broken, you built walls around yourself to protect you from the outside world but it was never safety you just created yourself a prison.
