Any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.
Homer, The Iliad
"I went away in my head, into a book. That was where I went whenever real life was too hard or too inflexible."
Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane
When Adam bit the apple he did it because he trusted Eve. Because he loved her. Adam bit into the apple because the woman he loved told him to, no matter what God said. No matter the rules of heaven. What’s heaven to a woman’s love anyway? What’s God to your wife? The first sins of humanity, were trusting others. Eve trusted a snake, Adam trusted Eve, and I trust you. Maybe that’s a sin, just like the first couple. Maybe everyone’s right about us and we’re sinners and we offend God. But like I said, what’s God to a woman’s love anyway? What has heaven got that I can’t find sitting next to you on a cool autumn morning?

and yeah, it’s really quite more painful than it sounds i can’t believe we’re losing the connection that we found i’m heavy with the weight of missing you, my dear, and i would tell you how but you’re too far away to hear that this was the worst day, cause this was the first day that you’re gone
i'm so jealous of people with such expansive and sophisticated vocabulary like for the love of god please stop using words i've never even heard of
“The soft grey of the dawn had lightened and the sky was the wet pale blue of a water-colour sky just painted and not yet dried.”
