be gentle, always delicate with every soul you meet, for every single morning you wake up, there is someone wishing,  silently and secretly, that they had not.

Tyler Knott Gregson, from Chasers of Light

I do not need the photos, and the taste of envelope glue does not need to dance atop my tongue. I will never need the unsaid words, or the ink stains from unwritten letters, or the bits of clothing left loose, crumpled and soundless beneath the bottom of sheets. I will keep you here, always here, where the nameless things sleep sound. I will keep you here, hidden here, as a familiar sensation on the tips  of long untouched fingers, the abandoned hallways begging for a ghost, and the smell I cannot place but has never forgotten me.

Tyler Knott Gregson, from Chasers of Light

"There will always be light, and I will never stop chasing it."

“What if all we have ever wanted isn’t hiding in some secret and far away dream but inside of us now as we breathe one another and find home in the way our arms always seem to fit perfectly around the spaces between us? What if we are the answer and love was the question? What if all this time it was us you were supposed to find? I am filled with wonderings questions and doubt but of one thing I am certain: it will always be you that gives flight to the butterflies inside me, calm to the sea I have become and hope to the darkness all around us. It is you and it has always been you… You. You that soothes and excites and spreads joy like rainfall on the already damp earth; You that pulled me from the longest sleep and kissed my tired eyelids awake. If life is a question mark, then you my love, are the proud and bold period that is typed with certainty.”

— one of my favorite pieces of writings by Tyler Knott Gregson, from the book "Chasers of Light".

I promise you I will try harder to be better. I have battled with things inside me for longer than you know; I do not know what they are or why they are there, I only know that they feel manageable, defeatable, when I am around you.

Sometimes the only way to catch your breath is to lose it completely.

Tyler Knott Gregson, Chasers of Light: Poems from the Typewriter Series

[booksandquotes]

Dissect big things, giant gestures, grand emotions, into small glimpse, tiny fragments Take miniature moments, stolen seconds, blink-and-you'll-miss-them glances, and make them enormous. The miracle in the mundane, the epic made simple.
