"The Chaos of Stars" by Kiersten White

And I'd choose you;
in a hundred lifetimes,
in a hundred worlds,
in any version of reality,
I'd find you and I'd choose you.

"The 5 Stages of Loving You" by Abby S

i lost you to space and time,
i nearly lost you to fate

but we were always fighters,
and so i know you'll come back to me
i know you'll come home to me

and our devotion outstrips the fairy tales,
because we were never guaranteed a happy ending

when we crash back together
the world narrows down to the sound
of a single heartbeat

When My Love Blooms, 2020

Let's say that we miraculously meet again.
But I'm scared...
it might be at her funeral.

John Green

Maybe there's something
you're afraid to say,
or someone you're
afraid to love, or some-
where you're afraid
to go. It's gonna
hurt. It's gonna hurt
because it matters.

Hyena, 2020

Yoon Hee-Jae: My day was nothing compared to yours.
Jung Geum-Ja: Physical injuries recover quickly. Emotional inquiries don't.
              [Taps on his chest, near his heart]. It lasts quite a while.

"Transformations of the Lover" by Adonis

We bow, we meet, we pass or sit opposite each other.
You are my garments, and I am yours.
Our muscles tense.
Our skins taste like a violent sea.

[Adonis (2000):Transformations of the Lover. In: Adonis: The Pages of Day and Night (trans. Samuel Hazo).]

you are
wasting
your heart
on those
who do not
see it as art

If it's out your hands,
it deserves freedom from your mind too.

Lost in Translation

Charlotte: I just don't know what I'm supposed to be.

Bob: You'll figure that out. The more you know who you are, and what you want,
     the less you let things upset you.

look. i don't think my stretch marks are beautiful. i don't think they're tiger stripes or natural tattooos. i don't think my acne is beautiful. i don't think the bags under my eyes are beautiful. i just think they're human. and i don't think i have to be beautiful all of the time in order to be accepted and loved and sucessful. i don't think every small detail of my outer appearence needs to be translated into prettiness.

Paulo Coelho

I think it's important to realize you can miss something
but not want it back.
