Was fucking made for fall

[timeofdaffodils]

I can remember him, slightly drunk, standing up and bumping into the dried flowers hanging from my ceiling. Sitting on the dark dock, cool wind coming off the lake, the blue lights making us look pale and alien. I can remember sitting close, one leg resting over his knee, his fingers on the backs of my thighs. He’s cold and wants to go back inside, but he sits there for a while with me anyway.

On the walk back he talks about things I can’t understand. He is brilliantly smart, he has the sharpest mind of anyone I’ve met. He talks about air and oxygen and what it means to be “alive.”

I laugh at him too much. I don’t know what else to do.

I tell him he astounds me. He doesn’t understand the word so I tell him he is remarkable, impressive, grand. He touches my arm as if to say, “I am here. I am with you.”

He watched me strike a match and light a candle.

“I think that if you accept loving something you have to accept losing it. I think there are only two emotions: love and fear.”

I don’t want him to think I’m crying because he’s leaving. That’s only half of it.

I could run all night with him.

types of beauty (feminine) for the signs

* you can use rising sign too

* you may not look like yours, i’m comparing the signs to types of beauty

classically attractive ( taurus, leo ): can rock some red lipstick and probably pin curls too, if they wanted to. makes you want to kiss their hand and take them out to a drive in movie. features of this type: cupid’s bow lips / small nose / probably on the shorter side / clear skin / straight, white teeth

intimidatingly attractive ( scorpio, aries ): the human equivalent of the word ‘badass’. black nails is a must, and maybe a nose ring too, if they’re up for it. inspires sudden shy and bashful behavior. features of this type: strong jawline / dark eyes / tall / long legs / long, dark eyelashes

cutesy attractive ( cancer , libra ): all shy smiles and blushing with this one. probably wears lace and pastel. makes you feel like you want to take care of them and hug them. features of this type: full cheeks and lips / long hair / short / soft features / big, innocent eyes

unusually attractive ( aquarius, pisces ): they could be an alien, you don’t know. but a very attractive alien. supermodel-esque looks, also intimidating. you may feel oddly drawn to them. features of this type: tall / wide set eyes / uncommonly colored features ( i.e. light green eyes or red hair ) / strong jawline / high cheekbones

sophisticatedly attractive ( capricorn, virgo ): they wow you with their quiet, ambitious vibes. can rock pencils skirts and pointed toe heels better than anyone. they’ll probably intimidate you. features of this type: even tone / probably on the taller side / straight, white teeth / longish painted nails / long legs

mischievously attractive ( gemini, sagittarius ): you’ll often see a twinkle in their eye and a playful smirk on their lips. pixie cuts and glittery eyeliner work oddly well on them. these ones will pull you in with one silly grin. features of this type: twinkling eyes / short hair / small facial features / tiny body and limbs / heart or diamond shaped face

I knew I was in trouble when all of my dreams were either about dying, or kissing you.
