Are you quiet when you need to be loved? Or do you raise your voice into a lion’s roar? Will you nudge yourself into my hips? Will you bite my shoulders and say ‘I need you to love me harder today’? Are you softer in the mornings? Which side of the bed do you like to take? Do you sprawl yourself out and steal the covers? Do you sleep naked? Do you take your coffee black? In the summer, do you flip the pillow and sigh when your cheek touches the cold side? Do you keep the windows open at night? If so, how? Aren’t you scared of monsters? Do you know that I’m scared of everything that lives in the dark? Are you aware that sometimes I get so nervous I forget how to move my feet? Can you be patient? Can you be gentle? Do you know how? Is there a quiet war raging inside of you? When you curl your fists and raise your chin, are you donning your armour? Can I help? Can I fight all of your demons with you? I won’t shy away from them, not if it would make you happy. Do you know that I’d stand in the dark in an empty room for you? Do you know that I trust you’d never ask that of me? Do you know that I don’t flinch when you cup my face? Even though if you so much as twitched too hard you could break me? Isn’t this what trust looks like? Isn’t it how I am always skin and emotions for you? Isn’t it saying ‘I love you more today than I did yesterday, but it was a whole lot yesterday’? Listen, do you feel safest when you’re holding yourself together? Do you think someday you can let that go? Will you let me take the pieces of you and keep them close? Can you let me love you? Will you learn how to? It doesn’t matter, I’ll wait.

Nothing ever seems interesting when it belongs to you-only when it doesn’t.
Natalie Babbitt, Tuck Everlasting (via larmoyante)
Do all men tell the woman they love that they love her or some are too proud to say it?
I truly believe that there’s no pride in love. And I don’t mean having no self respect or confidence. I just mean that loving someone completely is the most selfless thing you can do and sometimes it’s terrifying to be that open but you do it for them and you do it for yourself.
If you can dream it, you can do it

I hate that he says hi after 2 years, and I'm right back to daydreaming about laughter in a sunlit kitchen. I hate that so much.
Malebo gave us glow sticks and told us not to break them yet. I accidentally broke mine and put my hand over the small light on the edge and it just kept growing and expanding until it outgrew my hand. Light does that, it just grows and slowly takes away the darkness.
