Let me tap into what lies beneath the surface. I will keep your secrets safe as I explore every inch of a heart you keep under constant guard.

I watch you channel your pain into art, into poetry, into music, into prayer. It baffles me how you embrace life with so much agony and refuse to ask for anything in return except the precious privilege of expression.

“Come out of this alive. You are more than what keeps you up at night. You are more than capable of triumph. Knock the teeth out of your fears. Remind them who is in charge.”

Just love without pretense. Love without calculation. Love without a winner, love without a martyr, love like - I know you were hungry, I saved you half of my sandwich. Like - I know you hate silence, give me a second to get the music on. Like - move over, let's be alone together. Love like taking off your makeup. Like fresh cleaned sheets. Like: I see you and you see me.

No one can read your mind and you shouldn’t expect anyone to. Don’t waste your time ignoring them while you wait for them to say exactly what you need to hear. Express your wants and needs openly. Explain why you’re upset, don’t make them guess. It will save you so much hurt.

‘You have been gone a while,’ she said. What she meant was, ‘I have missed you for eternities.’

I noticed your rushed messages grow shorter in length, just like my patience to wait for someone who is not coming back.
