yes girl I think it’s incredibly sexy how indecisive you are about every single decision in your life. I also love how you haven’t let anything go since you were 12. can we make out now

He asked me when I fell in love with him and I knew it sounded dramatic to say the moment I saw him, so I told him this story of my grandma who had Alzheimer's- she forgot her name and the words for fruit and food, she forgot her address and how to use the washroom, all her life lost to the disease. The only thing she remembered was her son's name and when that began to fade, the one thing she always remembered was that she loved him, even in illness, even in insanity. She saw this 6 foot 2 man with a scrubby beard and she didn't know him but she said she trusted him, she asked him to hold her hand when she died. When does memory end and love begin? All I know is- she loved him before she remembered him.

“i want in fact more of you. in my mind i am dressing you with light; i am wrapping you up in blankets of complete acceptance and then i give myself to you. i long for you; i who usually long without longing, as though i am unconscious and absorbed in neutrality and apathy. i really, utterly long.”

How I look when I’m busy rebloging on tumblr

[hauntedinsomnia]

i used to think orpheus was an idiot but as an adult i understand now. i would turn around. there is no universe where i do not turn around. i could know for a fact eurydice was right behind me and i'd turn around and look because the need to see her face would kill me. i could be five or fifty steps from the light and i would turn. i would turn and look. if you love someone why would you be afraid to face them. fuck

i want to hold you the same way flames hold their warmth: in a way that is so innate, so right that it belongs and nobody can say it doesn't. i want to weave our souls together, blend their colours to form a rainbow that's so intertwined you cannot imagine separating one from the other.

— i want to stitch every atom of yours with mine.
