You are a light

And I am your battery

I’ll always be here

To make sure you shine

But don’t forget

In the end

You light up a room

And I die.

It feels like

I’ve changed more in the past month

Than I have ever changed before

And I want to thank you, but every time I nearly do, I start to cry. Because I feel like you might think that it meant something else. That it meant that I’m better off without you. That’s not what it means. The explanation of what it means is long... Maybe I’ll tell you over coffee someday.

“And sometimes I have kept my feelings to myself, because I could find no language to describe them in.”

— Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility (via books-n-quotes)

[seattleslacker]

I was always told that I can’t control my emotions

They’re too strong

And I’m too weak

They took over every part of my day

I could never stop crying

Through sadness

Frustration

And even happiness

So I did what any logical child would do

I learned to bury them

Now I’m older

I still can’t control them

They still overtake my mind

But now

No one else notices

To the world

I’m cold

And heartless

There isn’t an emotion that runs free

Too bad they can’t see me when I’m alone

i’m hiding you in places you shouldn't be. i'm not embarrassed of you. i just don't want anyone to hurt either of us. when i was younger, i used to come home with rocks behind my back, and i was so afraid my mom would take them away. they were beautiful and i had starlight growing in my eyes. i wanted to hold them forever and now, i feel that again with you. i don't want anyone to take you away. this feeling is one that i carry with me in my pockets, so no one will be able to reach for it. sometimes, i even leave it at home because i become too scared. now, i’m doing the same. i’m trying to figure out ways to hide us away. maybe ill create another world for us. ill create a whole language for us. ill bring words to life that only mean anything to you and i. it's just, i want to be able to speak without anyone being able to hurt us. in this world, when people know you love with everything on the line, they want to take it away from you. some of the people i gave my heart to tried to turn it into a weapon for themselves to use. i want you to know ill try to protect us from all that. ill find a way for love to hurt less. i promise, i promise, i promise. ill make words out of petals. ill make a whole language only we can understand, so no one will be able to know that there is light in the room. they won't be able to draw it away then. ill try to find a way to fix this world and create masks and words and became untouchable. i want to believe that maybe we won't have to hide forever, but i know that whenever i've shown love, it's been taken from me. i don't want you to be taken away too

“Do I still exist to you?”

My darling, not only do you still exist to me, but I exist for you.

“If we grew apart as friends, there’s a 100% chance I’m cheering you on from afar and that I still love you.”

““Don’t make the same mistakes that everyone else makes. Make wonderful mistakes. Make the kind of mistakes that make people so shocked that they have no other choice but to be a little impressed.””

Throw back to that time I shot a 3 point shot in a basketball game and didn’t make it in the hoop, but I managed to balance in between the hoop and the backboard.

[seattleslacker]

I’m sitting here

Watching as the stars come out of hiding

When suddenly tears are streaming down my face

My eyes are shut tight

I’m trying to pull it together

But I can’t

Because the longer I sit here

The more I realize

That life is so hard without you

Without you keeping me grounded

Without you still allowing me to dream

Without you being there with me

Watching the sun rise in the morning

And watching the stars sparkle at night

God. I miss you.

“I lay for a long time in silence, staring at the ceiling. Was my life always to be like this? I wondered. Was it going to go, forever, in an instant, from sunshine to shadow? From pandemonium to loneliness?”
