You wrap yourself tightly with your blankets of pain and sorrow
Are you afraid of letting go, afraid of starting a new tomorrow?
Not letting go keeps you away from me
Alone is not where you want to be.

And someday
I will hear the tides
that crash upon your shore
their distant song
will call to me
but I will remain marooned
stranded on the ocean of your eyes
because for you
I would gladly leave
eternity behind.

Spring:
A hill without a name
Veiled in morning mist.

The beginning of autumn:
Sea and emerald paddy
Both the same green.

The winds of autumn
Blow: yet still green
The chestnut husks.

A flash of lightning:
Into the gloom
Goes the heron's cry.

My motto? Be kind to everyone for if you read their story their isn't a person you wouldn't like a character you wouldn't find compassion for. Because we don't truly know the every details of someone's life, we only know what we see. But if we were to read their story, if we were to learn all their secrets and regrets and struggles, we would love them, the way we admire our fictional characters in books.

I like the small things in life.
I like the smell of sweat on our skin after being out
I like the smell of rain in the mornings and the feel of it pattering on the top of my head
I like late nights and early mornings, burning my candle at both ends
I like putting on makeup and feeling like a girl
But I like wearing baggy clothes and my hair up and feeling lazy too
I like people's faces;
I like crooked noses and thick eyelashes
I like thick hair and crooked smiles
I like sunrises and sunsets
I like thunder and lighting
I like sleeping in and waking early
I like mornings before the world has woken up; I like nights after the world has gone to sleep
I like life, and everything that comes with it
But you should always appreciate the small things in life
Because life without these things wouldn't be life at all

~I will wait all night for you to get here~
