i want to pretend that i could // bluesey [listen]

i. it’s not that we’re scared, it’s just that it’s delicate // ii. who am I, darling to you? who am I? going to tell you stories of mine // iii. can you keep me close, can you love me most // iv. what if we could risk everything we have, and just let our walls cave in // v. you pulled me together with blood and soft stitches, you’re proof that i’m breathing and that I still need to be loved and to hear you whisper to me, you’re enough // vi. so give me something real, always known for me, it’s you // vii. let me in the wall, you’ve built around and we can light a match and burn them down and let me hold your hand and dance ‘round and 'round the flames // viii. oh, the whole world it is sleeping, but my world is you // ix. my attachment to you isn’t subject to change, my heart’s yours forever and always // x. you’re the lullaby singing me to sleep, you are the other half, you’re like the missing piece

I have said that he has the power to deliver a compliment and make it hurt. So, too, can he say something that ought to be insulting and deliver it in such a way that it feels like being truly seen.

Six of Crows as Movie Stills 

Inej turned to go. Kaz seized her hand, keeping it on the railing. He didn’t look at her. “Stay”, he said, his voice rough stone. “Stay in Ketterdam. Stay with me.” She looked down at his gloved hand clutching hers. Everything in her wanted to say yes, but she would not settle for so little, not after all she’d been through. “What would be the point?” He took a breath. “I want you to stay. I want you to… I want you”. “You want me.” She turned the words over. Gently, she squeezed his hand. “And how will you have me, Kaz?” He looked at her then, eyes fierce, mouth set. It was the face he wore when he was fighting. “How will you have me?” she repeated. “Fully clothed, gloves on, your head turned away so our lips can never touch?” He released her hand, his shoulders bunching, his gaze angry and ashamed as he turned his face to the sea.
