Have you ever felt the heavy kind of sadness that camouflages itself

into a tired laugh when you open your mouth to tell someone you’re fine?

Detail of "Oude vrouw bij een kaars" ("Old woman with a candle") by Gerrit Dou, 1661

You
are alive.
No longer in
the same way that
people are alive but you
are alive to me in the same
way fire is alive. How it mesmerizes
with its light. Its warmth. How it
mesmerizes with its dance
with the gentlest
breeze.

I beg God to postpone the apocalypse until Monday
because I need to see you tomorrow.
I need to see you in your dark green sweater
and your favourite pair of sneakers,
the one with the grass stains you swear
wouldn’t come off.

Detail of "Jeune homme à la fenêtre" ("Man at the Window")
Gustave Caillebotte, 1875

I was watching a film the other day. The boy confessed: I can’t stand the silence—I need to speak to you.

- L. V.

And it reminded me of the first time I fell in love. It wasn’t with a boy. It was with silence.

- L. V.

In a dream, the world shut its mouth forever and the backyard flowers began to bloom in colours we have yet to name.

- L. V.

We learned to make music another way—first with hands and feet. Later, with the way we breathe.

- L. V.

Isn’t it strange how even love could backfire? Because here I am years later and I couldn’t care less for silence anymore. I can’t stand it—speak to me.

- L. V.

L. V., i found this poem rereading a book you gave me years ago
