“I love it when I see old couples together, because it makes me believe that true love does exist.”
— Unknown
“The moment I met you I knew it would be impossible for me not to fall for you. I don’t love you, I know that to be true. But I do like you. I really like you. If I let myself, and if you wanted me to, I know I could fall in love with you. I could dive headfirst into you without a second thought, take your hand in mine and never let go. I could stare into those eyes and listen to you talk forever, be the happiest girl in the world and spend the rest of my life laughing with you. I could fall head over heels, deeply, completely, madly in love with you. I don’t love you, but if you knocked on my door and took my hand, I know I could fall in love with you forever.”
— I don’t love you, at least not yet. But I could. // m.e.k.
“Never apologize for how you feel. No one can control how they feel. The sun doesn’t apologize for being the sun. The rain doesn’t say sorry for falling. Feelings just are.”
— Iain S. Thomas, Intentional Dissonance
“it was just a summer thing but you looked at me with eyes that shined like a million fireflies in june and the sparks between us lit up the room like fireworks in july until you slipped away like the first autumn leaves in august and even though it’s only september it’s cold as december without you here”
— you were mine for the summer // m.e.k.
Holding hands under blankets
Listening to old songs and letting them carry you to an another time
Owning a journal and filling it with your favourite moments of the season so you won't forget about them because they will become moments from your past one day so they are important
Picking up a random book from your dusty shelf and daring to finish it
Covering yourself with tones of clothes from head to toe
Sleepovers with friends
Having lunch dates with friends in their car while the rain is pouring outside
Hydrating and moisturizing
Drawing symbols on the windows covered with humidity
Spending your free time napping or getting cozy under your blankets while watching your favorite movie
Making handmade cards then sending them to your dearest people
Rescuing stray cats and giving them shelter
Romanticizing your life by thinking that everything you do is worth the care and admiration
Reading, reading and reading
Going to art exhibitions of artists you've never heard of
Long walks alone or with your friends and making up back stories for people you see on the street
Waking up early than usual when the world is still asleep
Listening to some playlists made by strangers on the internet
The agreeable warmth of your cocoa cup between your hands
Feeling the delicate coldness of the snowflakes on your skin
“I’m attracted to intelligence. Don’t get me wrong, a perfectly crafted body will certainly get my attention, but i’ll get bored with it. I always do. I need you to outsmart me. Make me feel like I could learn from you, grow with you. Do that and you can have me forever.”
— A.R. Lucas
Absolutely true...🎋
“i am hard to love.
that, i have always known
but you climbed the barbed wire fences that guarded my heart
and said you were here to stay
i believed you;
that was my mistake
i guess i scared you away;
i was too much for you,
or not enough,
or somewhere in between
but regardless,
the ending remains the same
i am here,
with my lonely, wounded heart
and the shattered remains of every empty promise you made.”
-i am hard to love, but you were easy to lose. c.r.
