Heart heavy and hard as stone
Swore she’d never be alone
Wore the stone around her neck
Made every man a nervous wreck
Just another road on the ride home

Do not give your name away.
It is the one thing you should
never
bargain.

There is a strange feeling
that follows you
into the forest and across streams.

Do not turn around.

Don't accept gifts from
beautiful people
who seem far lovelier than they really are.

At least,
not for free.

Don't say thank you.
It's as good as owing debt.
Say you appreciate the assistance,
but never thank directly.

Tread lightly in all things.
Wear bits of clothing
inside out.

Stuff salt in your pockets.

And if you here music flowing from
a nearby stream or ring of mushrooms,
do not dance to it.

You will not be able to stop.

Forgive me
Lovely boy
For leaving you
All alone
For letting you cry
And crushing your roses
I promise
I will stay with you
And let you lie on me
While got tears paint your cheeks
And I will plant roses
With you

"When we marry I want a huge cake like that."

My heart skipped a beat.
I wanted to kiss her so badly.
I love you

I dream of love awakened,
Of love unconditional and unbroken
—All kinds I dreamt about—

But have I ever felt it in reality: Doused
In disappointment, I continue dreaming
—All night, all day, forever sleeping—

Of love eternal and enduring
—spared from ever waking.
sometimes, it’s not always so easy to dismiss the temptation of escaping into dreams. more than battles in reality, the one waged against unfulfilled desires can irrevocably tether someone to the safety of imagination with a force that cannot be measured or explained. it can become the perfect trap. it’s a deadly endeavor that many are vulnerable to.

to people whose wakeful hours are very painful,
it’s not up to us to judge. the pain you carry is immeasurable, and only you can really fathom it. however, you are stronger for it. give yourself all the chances you need in reality to prove it— because you deserve it. If anyone says otherwise, they don’t know better. only you do.

surprise yourself. and show reality who’s the boss.
Incapable of love
Is what It feels
Not incapable to be loved
Or to love
But to let love live.

For love is just not the wish to keep
Love is in the effort to not let it leave.
Not just in dreams should love hold Love tight
Love is in not holding back love
In the fear of time when Love is not in life.
Love is in showing love right now before time strikes.
Love is beyond making love naked every night
Love is in walking out of the dungeon in broad daylight,
And breaking in front of his eyes
Without the fear of getting broken in time.

Incapable of love
Is what It feels
Even though It is loved
And It loves every being.
Yet never can love heal It.
For Love cannot be let in
Love cannot be let live.

Incapable of love
Are most lovely things.

This one first moment,
when my eyes met hers.
It felt like a big explosion,
like worlds crashing into each other.

Her eyes as deep as the shiny blue sea,
and her wave was crashing right into me.

Her heart is so kind,
it feels like all those cozy, endless sundowns in summer.
how pleasant that,
I think of her every time the sun goes down again

I see a soulmate in her eyes,
where i once saw a lonely stranger.
Nights with her are like music,
and music makes me think of the dreamy nights with her.

When I see you or I text you,
my heart beats faster,
my stomach feels a little lighter
and my smile shines much brighter.

Well, right now YOU are the person
who makes my life better by just being in it and making me smile everyday.
Even when I sleep, I dream about you and my face begin to smile

- every day and night again.

There were so many
soft and delicate angles
in your smile.
Was it a weapon forged
to destroy me or
was it a cure created
to save me?
I guess time will tell.

Why do i put so much hope in some things?
Why do i feel and care so much for some people?

I'm so stupid. Stupid, stupid stupid.
How could i ever believe that you may like me?
How could i ever believe that these moments between us
were special to you like they were to me?
That they brighten up your heart like they did to mine?

These days, I'm so exhausted and sad that i started not to care
about anything and anyone anymore.
The only thing i can't stop is my mind and my thoughts about you,
while you didn't even think about me once.
I hate this world, i hate this universe, i even hate myself.
I hate me for not appreciating you so much earlier,
I hate me for being so blind.

You treated me like i'm the most precious human out there,
you made me feel alive again you made me love you. No.
You made me realize that there was always something.
That i always had loved you, but i didn't realized it.
Until you hold my hand.
Sometimes I still can feel your hand in mine, the warm
embrace which made me feel safe.
Which made my heart stop for a second.

This was one of the most precious moments i've ever had
and oh hell it makes me so sad.
Am i the only one who felt this connection between us?
Do you care for me like i do for you?
Or did i put my hopes too high again?

I just need a sign, a little sign.
Should i fight for you, for us?
Or should i give up everything?

Yet i feel so lonely. This feeling is slowly killing me.
I'm alone with this, nobody would understand it.
So i'm sitting here alone, thinking about you and waiting
for the night to come.

I will look up to the starry nightsky, i will think about you and i will know that you're under the same sky like me.

i will hope that you maybe are
looking at the stars as well, that you think about me too, just for a second.
every time i look up in the sky i see you
