I wanna do all the cheesy, lovey dovey things I’ve ever thought about with only you
“(…) moonwarm and tender for another person.”
The Moths and Other Stories; ‘The Broken Web’ by Helena María Viramontes
“Your heart beats in my ribs and mine in yours, and both in God’s… The divine magnet is in you, and my magnet responds.”— Moby-Dick author Herman Melville’s little-known, passionate, beautiful, heartbreaking love letters to his literary hero and neighbor Nathaniel Hawthorne.
“When you are attracted to people, it’s because of the details. Their kindness. Their eyes. The fact that they can get you to laugh when you need it the most.”
- Jodi Picoult, Sing You Home
when Lemony Snicket wrote “I will love you if I never see you again, and I will love you if I see you everyday” that hurt me
Full paragraph hurts even more.
“ (…) I will love you as we find ourselves farther and farther from one another, where once we were so close… I will love you until your face is fogged by distant memory. I will love you no matter where you go and who you see, I will love you if you don’t marry me. I will love you if you marry someone else and I will love you if you never marry at all, and spend your years wishing you had married me after all. That is how I will love you even as the world goes on its wicked way.”
And it’s not because I’m lonely. And it’s not because it’s New Year’s Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.
When Harry Met Sally (1989)

“I think that love poems are really powerful when they’re written by people who aren’t in love. Almost as if to say:Look how much I can hurt without anyone’s help. Look how full of no one I can be without collapsing. This love poem is proof that I know how to carry a torch. This love poem is proof that I’ve had the dream with a king-sized bed in it. This love poem is screaming out an open window, is screaming into my pillow. I know what I’m capable of.”— Caitlyn Siehl, Proof (via alonesomes)
