These are my choice notes.

Lifetime

It’s been two years and you’re still here.

Give me a lifetime more.

[latelyandalways]

Home

You walk through the door and smile.

Now that you are home, I am too.

[latelyandalways]

Marry Me

With all that I am, I am yours first.

I'll be your last too, if you'll let me.

“My soul is full of longing for the secret of the sea. And the heart of the great ocean sends a thrilling pulse through me.” - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

[latelyandalways]

“May these words be the first to find your ears; my world is brighter than the sun now that you’re here.”

The Long Run

We’ve been together one month (and eleven years)

It’s taken over a decade to get us here.

[books-n-quotes]

Perhaps we were friends first and lovers second. But then perhaps this is what lovers are.

André Aciman, Call Me By Your Name (via books-n-quotes)

[books-n-quotes]

I am not one person; I am many people; I do not altogether know who I am.

Virginia Woolf, The Waves (via books-n-quotes)

[latelyandalways]

But then I think, this happens sometimes, doesn't it? People you have a history with, they won't let you go, and as hard as you might try, you can't disentangle yourself, can't set yourself free. Maybe after awhile you just stop trying.

"The Girl on the Train" - Paula Hawkins

You can’t spend the best years of your life waiting for somebody to love you back.

im really pissed that palindrome isnt palindrome backwards

[viridiscrow]

Ah, yes but emordnilap is a word!

An emornilap is any word that, when spelled backwards, produces another word. Examples of emordnilap pairs include:

desserts & stressed

drawer & reward

gateman & nametag

time & emit

laced & decal

regal & lager

And therefore “emordnilap palindrome” is an emordnilap palindrome.

Which I, for one, think is really frickin’ cool.

At first, when we truly love someone, our greatest fear is that the loved one will stop loving us. What we should fear and dread, of course, is that we won't stop loving them, even after they are dead or gone. For I still love you with the whole of my heart. I still love you and sometimes, my friend, the love that I have and can’t give to you, crushes the breathe from my chest. Sometimes, even now, my heart is drowning in a sorrow that has no stars without you, and no laughter, and no sleep.

Gregory David Roberts, Shantaram

Too(th) cute.

She looked at him and smiled, and he thought: I am lucky. She is looking at me.

Alexander McCall Smith, The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency

[latelyandalways]

I want to be happy that I'm here, not sad that I left.

You make it impossible.

[latelyandalways]

I’m in love with someone I don’t even know. It’s been years. I should let him go.
