“I know you don’t love me. I know you don’t think about what it would be like to trace your fingertips along the edge of my jaw and across my eyelids and on the inside of my knee. I know that I think about you as sunlight and that you don’t think about me at all. I know it’s a one-sided kind of love, the kind where you don’t taste acid on your tongue when you see someone’s hand around my own. I know you don’t love me. I know you don’t, but I can’t help the fact that I love you. I love you so much that I slur it in drunken hazes and think about it when I go to sleep. I wish I could press my love into every inch of your skin and bruise it into your heart so that it could beat to the sound of my love, but you’re too out of reach and I’m too hard to love. Please know that I love you more than I can begin to stand. Please let me know if one day you wake up and suddenly see me in a different way. I know you don’t feel me in your bones, but if you ripped my chest open all you’d find is your smile and your eyes and your laugh in the inseam of my heart. You’ll find the love that I possess, and the bleeding cracks from the love that you don’t.”

“All I did was love you and all you did was leave.”

[luckylluminati]

“After everything I’d still pick you.”

[luckylluminati]

“You feel more like home than anywhere I’ve ever been.”

[luckylluminati]

“I remember wanting to hold your hand and kiss you and tell you things that I had never told anyone before. I think that’s how I knew I loved you. Yeah. I think that’s it.”

[luckylluminati]

“You felt like home and that is why I stayed”

[luckylluminati]

“Is it wrong that I’m still hoping for a sign from you? because if I face the truth and reality, I know you’re not coming back. I know that I don’t cross your mind as much as you cross mine. I know that I don’t mean as much to you as I wanted to. But I have never given up on you... if my mind has, my heart surely hasn’t. That even if you are a lost hope, I still think there’s something there worth holding onto. And I’m okay with loving you even despite all the uncertainties, miscommunications, and space between us. Because if I didn’t truly feel that way, trust me, I would’ve moved on a long time ago.”

“I remember the first time I saw you, it was a hot summer day. The sun was beautiful and bright, but it set more quickly than I realized. I remember your eyes, they were the first thing I noticed. Maybe even the first part of you that I fell for. In those beautiful orbs I saw universes, possibilities, and a potentially connection. I wondered what your eyes would look like if they truly saw me, but I was shy so I didn’t speak. I remember winter, and the way I shivered before I saw you. You looked different, and I couldn’t help but wonder why. The light was no longer in your eyes. You still smiled when you saw me, but I couldn’t help but notice how quickly you looked away. I talked this time; I promise myself I would. Words slipped out of my mouth like snowflakes, and melted on your indifferent skin. Stupid. Everything gets colder in the winter, I can’t blame you for being colder too. Next fall I watched the leafs drift away, and I wondered how you were doing. If you were different now, if I was. When I saw you this time, I wasn’t ready. Your eyes held the same universes I saw many seasons ago, but things were different now. They were worn, tattered, and stained with reminders that not everything is beautiful. You looked at me, and I saw myself somewhere. We are broken, and still somehow whole. We are crashing universes, falling stars, and a story made beautiful from its cracks. I see seasons in you, and I see myself falling in love with you over and over again.”

“You’re a combination of everything I’ve ever loved.”

[luckylluminati]

“Everyone else

just talks to me,

You speak to

my soul.”

[luckylluminati]

“Sure, I can be happy on my own. But, on days like this, I just need someone to hold my hand. It’s hard to walk with a heart so heavy.”

[luckylluminati]

“You don’t have to save me, just hold my hand while I save myself.”

[luckylluminati]

“Look how powerful love is. I’ve known that fire could burn me

but I still held on to you.”

[luckylluminati]

“No matter how far destiny drops us apart, a part of you will always remain with me.”

Pros of writing gay relationships: 

- gay

Cons of writing gay relationships:

- they both have THE SAME FCKIN PRONOUNS SO I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO NAME BOTH CHARACTERS BECAUSE OTHERWISE IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL WHO’S DOING WHAT OR WHO’S SPEAKING WHO WILL SAVE ME FROM THIS HELL

I CAN’T BELIEVE THERE’S A POST ABOUT THIS. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL.

[berlynn-wohl]

Worst way to deal with this: use epithets (the taller man, the blonde) DO NOT

Best way to deal with this: Use the pronouns a teensy bit more than you maybe feel is sufficient. Leave the fic for two days before editing (i.e. allow yourself to forget it a little). Come back and re-read. If at any point YOU can’t tell who’s doing what to whom, put names in. Leave the rest of the pronouns.

Also, for dialogue: use characterization instead of names. Let it be clear by the things that are said, the way they are said, who is saying them.

Readers are smart, let them infer sometimes. :)
