Call Me by Your Name  (2017)

[tordenvejr]

there's only a set number of sunsets that you will experience in your life, a set number of kisses to give, kisses to receive, truths shared and bird songs listened to. wrap them all in your arms and hold them safely and fondly in your chest as often as you can remember to. there's no point in not speaking from the heart, no point in not leaning into love and life with all that you are. there's only a certain amount of starry skies you can be truthful beneath, why not all of them and why not in every way?
