How softly you kissed me that day. You'd let out a tiny exhale as your fingertips gently grazed my cheek. How I'd snaked an around your waist as I felt your hand on the nape of my neck, pulling me close to deepen the kiss. The softness of your lips and gentleness of your touch was almost as surreal, like the lunar eclipse that night. I remember humming in contentment as my stomach was in knots, the butterflies in my stomach ignited with a whirlwind of emotions. Your kisses were so intoxicating and overwhelming to my system.

“The first of December was a wintry day indeed to them, for a bitter wind blew, snow fell fast, and the year seemed getting ready for its death.”

She was like whiskey.

An alluring aroma to most who have an acquired taste, but behind the aroma lies the burning flame.

That night, the moon was a wraith-silver half-moon that kissed the the horizons edge. She was natural beauty with windsept hair drivin' down the open road. Love was her passenger as she drove to the one who she knew she loved – the second half of her soul. Happiness rumbled through the cars engines as she drown from the cook out line to the dollar general; freedom was fresh from the cookout line.

Fries with a M&M Milkshake and late night love. What more could she ask for?

She was in love... always had been.

Remember when you told her it was destiny? Or when your friends knew it from the very start?Said she was a the one? Saying to her "I love you so much" way before you told the black haired beauty: to be her girlfriend, that night? It's nothing like a night in the back of the cab, where you'd skim your fingers up her thigh; with nothing on her phone the next day...

Love was her passenger on the road. It ain't goin' no where no matter how much doubt seeps into the cracks of her mind. It felt like no other. She learned a whole new world, full of swirling colours. She finally saw the beauty in madness that she ever so craved. She was grounded and bombarded with a whirlwind of emotions.

That night was late night love, fries and a M&M Milkshake – an unforgettable moment. She was the moon and he was the sun.

They're just poetry you've yet to understand, not merely words that many seem to say.

[mosaic-of-broken-hearts]

The only kind of people that will NEVER accidentally hurt you are the kind of people who kill themselves trying to always do and say the right things and completely dismiss their own feelings. Check in with the friends who are always there for you. The ones who never leave when they are mad at you because you need them. The ones who never say no, or set any boundaries. They are probably the best people you know, but they ruin their own mental health trying to keep everyone else comfortable.

When I'm basically full of blissful chaotic thoughts from noon to midnight, poetry I read at 3am under the moon, bullshit on a silver platter since 2014, finding people's sayings because my inspiration is dry as my humor. Furthermore, books that make the heart whole and break that bastard in two and song lyrics that make anyone feel like a badass warrior queen to a grungy little fucker shoved into one. And then sprinkle some negative angst energy and positive "fuck off" energy in there as the cherry on top.

Is love complicated? It's more like love is simple and loving is complicated for us. Our definitions and outlook definitely makes it complicated to us. We look at others for the detention for love, we use ego and pride to hide behind games, we think it's obsession and possessiveness, A few think love and pain go hand in hand. They can’t differentiate between healthy and unhealthy relations. Do you think love will make you a better person,happier,or will fix things in your life you are not happy with?And not just in the simple sense,but think deeper - we all are unique,with our own thoughts,experiences, and opinions and want to share those with your partner. I say if you want a great relationship start by building one with yourself. Be the person you want in someone else and go from there.

Dont go in a relationship because you dont like to be alone or you are in love to the idea of love. Or you are somehow jealous to other people who have a very wonderful relationship. That is a selfish act. Be sure that you are in love. That you want to be in a relationship because you really love them. That you can give love. As they say, if you don’t love yourself how are you going to love anyone else.

i would like to remind you today that you are more than the reflection in the mirror. you are more than acne and a bad hair day. you are more than the things you wanted to do the day before, but didn't get to or couldn't finish. you are more than your body's limits. you are more than the food you didn't eat or ate too much of and of course, you are more than your weight. you are more than your past and any mistakes you relive in your head in the present. you are more than the things that have hurt you and if you've hurt others you can choose to be more than that, you can choose to grow beyond that and become better than that. you are more than likes on a picture, your beauty is not measured by the number and your art or your poems or your stories are still beautiful too, even if few see it, even if no one sees it. you are more than an illness, physical or mental or both. you are more than trauma and grief and your intrusive thoughts. the hardships, the flaws (self imposed or otherwise), the pain - they are PARTS of you, but understand, they are not ALL of you.

She's bathed in the adrenaline, she wished to be free. The darkness is so cruel to her, even for her comfort blanket against the light.

She had risen from the ashes of her demise and made her empire once again. She felt the change in her soul. Something horrid is bout to happen to her. She doesn't know when, but she had that feeling. It'll be a dreadful ending to a beautiful story filled with broken memories. She'd hope her cherished friend doesn't leave those memories up in the sky with the stars. She didn't want them to give up on her, no matter how grimm it seemed for her future. "Don't give up on me, darlin, no matter what happens." She'd say before collapsing to the ground in anguish. And yes, it'll be dreadful ending to her beautiful story. It took her years to build her empire, only for it to seize to ruins. She wished these thoughts to be false so she wouldn't have to say goodbye... In the end, it's futile. Her demise will be brought down from the heavens.

She tried to tell you she loved you. It always came out sad or that she was mad at the world. Sometimes those three little words can explain it all or break it all— Break her or break him... break them. She was screaming against the heaviness of it all, screaming at the universe.

Oh how bittersweet it is.

How stupid and naive she was for the love she felt deep inside she felt. This was is.

This was how love felt to her— or was it heartbreak? Knowing nothing was forever for them.

She gave it her all. But very quickly found out, it wasn't very much at all.

Why did it take her this long to find out?

What will she do now? What will she do when they leave? What will she say... When they walk away?

She's in love

She's in love, In love with a drug she can't escape

Shes so high, high as the stars. He's the drug and she's in love. She's preparing herself for heartbreak one of these days...

What does it take to make a monster out of something so ethernal in your heart? How far can and would someone go to do that? It wasn't a problem for her. If she had half a mind to love him back fully but she doesn't.

It's too late now...

Screaming at the universe. Is she really just someone's girl? Best she just give it her all and yeah, finding out that's not very much these days.

What will she do now? What will she do when they leave? What will she say... When they walk away?
