I'm not accustomed to happiness, I wouldn't know how to deal with it.
Rather, I crave a bearable melancholy. Not the kind that is soul-crushing, but the kind that slices like a fine paper cut on your wrists. It stays tucked away in a corner of your heart, quiet and patient. Like a nightingale who sits in darkness and sings in solitude.

*watermark removed + upscaled* although i fear tumblr will reduce quality. you can clearly see the details on the dress. it's a shame we went from this to the plain satin gown.
