Should forever ever catch up to us,

I’ll ask it for more time.

There aren’t enough nows,

or tomorrow’s,

to love you as long as I’d like.

Life goes on without you. The world keeps spinning around me. Slower. Dimmer. I'm learning that I miss you most at Christmas. This Christmas, no less than last. Sometimes it feels like there's less color around me without you. I love you. I miss you. Always. /////////////// Hold your loved ones close. Say I love you- out loud, and frequently. take pictures. send letters. spend time. because it will never be enough in the end, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't hold tightly onto it while it's here. #dad #imissyou

I’ve stopped being sorry for all my soft. I won’t apologise because I miss you, or because I said it, or because I text you first, or again. I think everyone spends too much time trying to close themselves off. I don’t want to be cool or indifferent, I want to be honest. If I love you at 5AM, I’d damn well rather that you know I felt it. If I love you two hours later, I’ll tell you then too. Listen, I won’t wait double the time it takes for you to text me back because I don’t want to. I don’t care enough to be patient with you. I’m happy, you made me feel that way, don’t you want to know? So that’s how it’s going to be. I’m going to leave myself as open as a church door. And I’m going to wake you up before the crack of dawn to tell you that I’m fucking joyful, no pretending, not from me, not ever. Would you like some coffee, would you please kiss me? Here, these are my hands, this is my mouth, it is all yours.

One day, years from now, while drinking green tea next to you on our couch, I'll exclaim: "I can't believe you still love me after all this time!" How lucky I am to have the chance to love you for so long... and be loved by you in return... forever. however long that may be.

Self love is a beautiful thing. It's both a journey and a destination. We all have insecurities and sometimes they feel heavier than usual. But no matter what, when you look in the mirror, or when you look inside yourself, be kind. find the beauty, embrace it, hold onto it. #selflove #journey #loveyourself #bekindtoyourself #writer #writersofinstagram #writersofig #freestyle #spilledink #runonsentences #love #ashleygraves #poem #poetry #prose #write #read

Guys. Last chance to get in on project love note. If you'd like a little love note or a few words of encouragement sent to someone special I'm your life, send me a quick dm about who they are and why you want to send them one. From there, I'll be choosing a handful to write and send out. There's nothing better than sending out a little extra love and kindness.

I've been trying to be more active on instagram again and have decided it would be fun to do a little giveaway type thing. Is there someone special in your life you'd like to send a note to? I've got an assortment of 10 note cards that I'd love to write love notes on and send out to different people. If you'd like one, it's simple- send me a quick little dm and I'll pick 10 and send them out. It'll be pretty random, but if you include a funny joke, I can't say it won't help your case lol. Once I decide who I'm sending them to, I'll get a little information on who I'm sending the love note to, I'll write or type a unique little piece on the card and mail it out. I only ask that as the cards are received, maybe you can snap a picture and tag me in it. There is so much hate floating around and I love the idea of spreading a little extra love into the world. Who wants in? /////// #love #writer #writing #words #writersofinstagram #poem #poetry #prose #read #mail #lovenote #ashleygraves #spilledink
