the word lover is so infinitely soft. So universal. So timeless. Two girls with awkward, hungry hands. A boy and a girl in the dark. Two men in empty light. A marriage of 40 years. Letters over eons. Sapphoβs poems. The corner of a mouth. Lovers, lovers, lovers.

Itβs kinda beautiful how humans are drawn to tragedies. That for thousands of years people have gathered to hear the stories of humanity battling fate, the stars, the gods, itself. Fighting and failing with the idea that, despite the tragedy of it all, there is always something worth fighting for. That there is something to be learned in the debris. That sometimes humanity falls and other times it rises. Though never without a fight. And maybe the tragedy is simply that one must fight to live, and fighting rarely ends without scars. So we tell the stories of our scars to make others feel less alone in their own. That humanity can share in the collective experience of suffering. To let each other know that our stories have worth no matter the outcome. They deserve to be told. Thereβs tragedy in everything. That doesnβt mean you stop fighting. Stop living. Stop loving. And that hope has transcended time. Which is a tragedy in itself.
and maybe i am a little bit in love with all of my friends. how could i not be when they place their whole heart in my hands and trust me to carry it safely home? lazy days spent in comfortable silence, tearful nights spent giving each other a reason to live. the exhilaration of learning your little quirks melting into a future where i know you better than the lines on my open palms. mutual understanding to be forever gentle with one another. inside jokes that follow me long after you've gone, reminding me to slow down and laugh a little more. your eyes are the lens through which i can see the world with love. your embrace is the shelter under which i find strength to continue on.
if I ever make a mistake in English thatβs because Iβm a mysterious sexy foreigner btw and not because Iβve been turning the sentence over in my mind for so long that Iβve become completely unable to tell how it sounds

when hozier said βand the nights were as dark as my baby half as beautiful tooβ and no grave can hold my body down iβll crawl home to herβ and βevery word iβve got is foreign to meβ and βwhen you kill the lights and kiss my eyes i feel like a person for a moment of my lifeβ and βi slithered here from eden just to sit outside your doorβ and βlove with every stranger the stranger the betterβ and βdonβt be kind to me honey donβt feed me i will come backβ and βi wouldnβt fall for someone i thought couldnβt misbehaveβ and we let him get away with it?
