*picking petals* she loves me... she loves me lots... she loves me... she loves me lots...

okay so, you're knee deep in it. click for better quality + transcript under cut.

OKAY SO, YOU’RE KNEE DEEP IN IT,

BREATHE. You’re down bad and it’ll be okay. Your heart is a runaway

train set on a collision course, you’ll be okay, there’s a dead’s man switch

on board & worst-case scenario, they’ll intentionally derail it, so it doesn’t

crash and burn through a small quaint town. You think every little thing is

significant, you can taste the cinnamon in the air, and you don’t seem to

notice how quickly night comes these days—you live every moment of

every day in anticipation, you think on the other end of every phone call

there will be a warm ‘I love you too, silly. I’ve always did’. You read the

skies like tea leaves, you think the cirrus clouds during sun(rise/set) is

an indicator that the love of your life had a great day. You stop and smell

the roses, whether it’s 3 am or 3pm, because you’ll do anything to admit

the truth—you want them to linger in the doorway because you can’t

handle another goodbye, so you do everything apart from begging them

to stay, you’ll apologize for the small things, the big things, the things you

had nothing to do with (baby, I’m sorry the oranges at the supermarket

were overripe), you love like you’re the loneliest person alive, because

really, you just might be.

[er3to]

someone will love you.

someone will write you into their story and make you the author, someone will work on being softer (for you), someone will try their best to heal so they can be a good lover (to you.)

someone will wrap themselves within your soul so intimately that you'll never be able to imagine your life without them.

you deserve the love you put out. you deserve love.

If the moon knew the path to the sea I think she would abandon her sky.

If the sea knew the path to the moon, would it still sway every night to kisses sent by her light?

All the yearning in this world and I have only music to give.

There’s a tender heart that aches and countless more waiting on dawn.

Oh life, tell me, why did you colour this moment in autumn again?

[ruhlare]

Tell me about the love you've never received and let me fill the void

[ame-soeurr-deactivated20230201]

Tell me about the emptiness you feel and let me fill it with my love

[er3to]

love is not gentle nor is it kind.

it is manic. it is the empassioned frenzy of your heart that you tried to contort into syllables but failed.

it is obsessive. you cannot imagine your life without the presence of love. you are in despair at the idea that you have not portrayed yourself as loving & you cannot realize that you cannot attain it no matter how many poems you've written & how many love letters you sign.

it is embarrassing. you feel stupid. you feel like your heart is there on a page and everyone is laughing. "look at their dreams! look at their hopes of a happy ending!"

love is not gentle nor is it kind. (but you try to be. oh, how you try.)

i want someone to grab my face and make me look at them when i get shy from eye contact

[er3to]

tell me sweet nothings until we both fall asleep.

[nothingbutloveforyou]

some cute things i'd love to experience now that it's cold:

someone holding my hand in their pocket to keep it warm

them hugging me with their coat

rubbing our cold noses against each other

drinking hot beverages together

cuddling under a bunch of blankets

baking little treats and having the kitchen smell really good

fairy lights

leaving footprints in the snow

kissing even though our lips are really cold

rubbing their hands and blowing on them to get them warm

[nothingbutloveforyou]

what's it like being someone's favorite person? is it as nice as it sounds? do their hugs feel warmer? do their smiles look brighter? do they think about you more often than about others? do their eyes light up when they see you? do they feel safer with you? do they tell you their corny jokes? do they actually hold a special place in their hearts just for you? do they hold your hand tighter? do they love you the most?

[nothingbutloveforyou]

be with someone who wants to know how to love you right.

[jurassic-snark1889-deactivated2]

date idea: you talk to me about your favorite things and i listen intently because hearing you get excited is just so cute

[stricatul]

I wanna be your “3am, I can’t sleep” text

[wabisabic]

And your “2pm, I’m really busy but I miss you a lot, see you in a few hours” text🥺

[nothingbutloveforyou]

you know when you can see the love spilling from their eyes? i want to be the person that makes someone look at me like that
