I Fell Hard

I love you

I, who have seen your heart,

Every fiber that was put into your soul

I love you

I love you for every fault

Every disaster, every sin

I want to share every moment

Good, bad, high, low

I’ll take your anger

Your frustration, your disappointment

As long as I can hoard everything else:

Those rare grins you give when you find something amusing

The even rarer smiles when everything is right in the world for one irreplaceable moment

When you laugh at your own jokes, even if no one else does

That infuriating smirk you think is attractive but isn’t

(It’s beautiful, it’s all beautiful, you’re beautiful, and I wish you would hurry up and realize it because maybe then you would love yourself as much as I do)

You are my hope

My faith

The dream I never knew I had

All the pieces—messy and bent and cracked and perfect—that that form the person standing before me

I love them all

I only wish you loved me too

they call it a love triangle
girl must choose between boy a and boy b

but i know basic math

i know a triangle is three points
connected by three lines
but society has erased

that one damning line
thin black ink, between two points.

society has made the term

love triangle

synonymous with rivalry

no one seems to consider the fact that maybe
all boy a and boy b want is each other
maybe ares and hephaestus were lovers || sba (via addictcastiel)
We live on a blue planet that circles around a ball of fire next to a moon that moves the sea, and you don’t believe in miracles?

You leave empty cereal boxes in the kitchen cabinet

like the Romans left the ruins of ancient civilizations

to be clear

I am not one for sharing space

I am not one for silently whispering calculations under my breath, because I could have sworn that I had just bought milk the other day

and maybe that was once true

but that was before I met you

I’m sorry I don’t know how to curl around you at night

and that I shy away from well meaning words and fingers laced in mine

I’m sorry we are like re-runs of the same old 90’s crime shows that come on every night

and somewhere in between microscopic evidence and clever

we lost the plot

Forgive me

I am weak

I lean in to smell the flowers in your hair but leave as soon as you tug my hands, soft from lack of labor in yours, and dig them into the fresh soil

just because it makes you laugh

I’m sorry that the words catch in my throat

“I love you” is not what I feel

but it’s the only word I know for sharing space

and miles to go before i sleep. -robert frost

I swear to every heaven ever imagined,
if I hear one more dead-eyed hipster
tell me that art is dead, I will personally summon Shakespeare
from the grave so he can tell them every reason
why he wishes he were born in a time where
he could have a damn Gmail account.
The day after I taught my mother
how to send pictures over Iphone she texted
me a blurry image of our cocker spaniel ten times in a row.
Don’t you dare try to tell me that that is not beautiful.
But whatever, go ahead and choose to stay in
your backwards-hoping-all-inclusive club
while the rest of us fall in love over Skype.
Send angry letters to state representatives,
as we record the years first sunrise so
we can remember what beginning feels like when
we are inches away from the trigger.
Lock yourself away in your Antoinette castle
while we eat cake and tweet to the whole universe that we did.
Hashtag you’re a pretentious ass hole.
Van Gogh would have taken 20 selfies a day.
Sylvia Plath would have texted her lovers
nothing but heart eyed emojis when she ran out of words.
Andy Warhol would have had the worlds weirdest Vine account,
and we all would have checked it every morning while we
Snap Chat our coffee orders to the people
we wish were pressed against our lips instead of lattes.
This life is spilling over with 85 year olds
rewatching JFK’s assassination and
7 year olds teaching themselves guitar over Youtube videos.
Never again do I have to be afraid of forgetting
what my fathers voice sounds like.
No longer must we sneak into our families phonebook
to look up an eating disorder hotline for our best friend.
No more must I wonder what people in Australia sound like
or how grasshoppers procreate.
I will gleefully continue to take pictures of tulips
in public parks on my cellphone
and you will continue to scoff and that is okay.
But I hope, I pray, that one day you will realize how blessed
you are to be alive in a moment where you can google search
how to say I love you in 164 different languages

This is so beautiful.

(via the-perks-of-being-recovered)

You’re in a car with a beautiful boy, and he won’t tell you that he loves you, but he loves you. And you feel like you’ve done something terrible, like robbed a liquor store, or swallowed pills, or shoveled yourself a grave in the dirt, and you’re tired. You’re in a car with a beautiful boy, and you’re trying not to tell him that you love him, and you’re trying to choke down the feeling, and you’re trembling, but he reaches over and he touches you, like a prayer for which no words exist, and you feel your heart taking root in your body, like you’ve discovered something you didn’t even have a name for.
