I want to see you.
Know your voice.
Recognize you when you
first come ‘round the corner.Sense your scent when I come
into a room you’ve just left.Know the lift of your heel,
the glide of your foot.Become familiar with the way
you purse your lips
then let them part,
just the slightest bit,
when I lean in to your space
and kiss you.I want to know the joy
of how you whisper

I promise you
I will try harder
to be better.
I
have battled with things

or why they are there,
I only know
that they feel
manageable,
defeatable,
when I
am around

Robert Fulghum -
It’s one thing to run away when someone’s chasing you. It’s entirely another to be running all alone.
Jennnifer E. Smith -
I’m used to being the center of attention wherever I go. I’ve been told I could charm the shoes off a racehorse midstride, and yet you seem impervious.
Leigh Bardugo -
I like to see people reunited, I like to see people run to each other, I like the kissing and the crying, I like the impatience, the stories that the mouth can’t tell fast enough, the ears that aren’t big enough, the eyes that can’t take in all of the change, I like the hugging, the bringing together, the end of missing someone.
Jonathan Safran Foer -
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
Douglas Adams -
How wrong to have been so negative, how wrong to have been so gloomy, how wrong to have run away from life, how wrong to have said no, again and again, instead of yes.
Jonathan Franzen
