Hearsay, the more you forgive, the more they will love you. But every time you forgive them, you fall in love with them less and less. And the time they love you more than any other is very much the moment you decide to love them the least.

i want to hug you the way,
winnie the pooh hugs the piglet

this is not how i dreamed
i’d spend my thursday
deteriorating mental image
staring at me

i’ll do what must be done
to keep you a little longer
foolish of me to think
i could keep you at all
