I know

He is the only one

For I feel surrounded

By a thousand golden fairies

In the dark

He is the only one

For he touched my soul

With his words

Before my body with fingers

For he kissed my heart

Before planting a kiss on my lips

-Jyoti Patel, The Curved Rainbow

"It's the kind of kiss that inspires stars to climb into the sky and light up the world."

- Tahereh Mafi, Ignite Me

"When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too."

- Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

"To burn with desire and keep quiet about it is the greatest punishment we can bring on ourselves."

- Federico García Lorca, Blood Wedding and Yerma

These book boyfriends 🤭🦋❤️

-Brendan Taggart (It Happened One Summer -Tessa Bailey)

"Happiness isn't some permanent thing we're all trying to achieve in life, it's merely a thing that shows up every now and then, sometimes in tiny doses that are just substantial enough to keep up going."

Reminders Of Him | Colleen Hoover

"We dream to give ourselves hope. To stop dreaming - well, that's like saying you can never change your fate."

- Amy Tan, The Hundred Secret Senses

"That which is dreamed can never be lost, can never be undreamed. "

- Neil Gaiman, The Wake

“An emptiness so vast I can’t tell if I am in it or it in me.”

— Richard Jackson, from “Elegy Just in Case,” Asheville Poetry Review (2022)

I felt very still and empty, the way the eye of a tornado must feel, moving dully along in the middle of the surrounding hullabaloo.

Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

"He's smiling, and I didn't realize how much I missed seeing that smile. He should smile all the time. Forever. At me."

- Ugly Love | Colleen Hoover

"If you ask what is it that warms our heart more than a hot stove, then my answer will be a sincere smile!"

Mehmet Murat ildan

Oh, to see you smile! To see your beautiful lips transform into the perfect curve of happiness and mirth, the mischievousness of your soul shining in your eyes, while brilliant little pearls stare back at me. Never has my soul been so mesmerized, so entranced, so lost, but also found then when I see you smile.

e.v.e.

I love you in a weak at my knees, butterflies in my stomach, giddy little kid in a candy store kinda way.🦋🍭

🦋I think the butterfly in my stomach has fallen in love with the one in his🦋

"To love is to be afraid. You are frightened, deathly terrified, that something will happen to those you love. Think of the possibilities. Does you heart clench with each thought? That, my friend, is love. And love enslaves us all, for you cannot have love without fear."

- Marie Lu

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. But we do not regret falling in love. Instead we would relive the experience of meeting and falling in love with them over and over again, knowing it will result in the same outcome, same torment, same despair, same grief. Surely there's something about love that is worth the pain.

House Of Leaves | Mark Z. Danielewski

"I want to know what passion is. I want to feel something strongly." - Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

Have a good day loves!

"I want morning and noon and nightfall with you. I want your tears, your smiles, your kisses...the smell of your hair, the taste of your skin, the touch of your breath on my face. I want to see you in the final hour of my life...to lie in your arms as I take my last breath."

AGAIN THE MAGIC | LISA KLEYPAS

"Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts. I was better after I had cried, than before--more sorry, more aware of my own ingratitude, more gentle."

GREAT EXPECTATIONS | CHARLES DICKENS

"All the things that have brought us pain, carve a distinct hole in our heart, and there's someone else out there with the perfect something that will fill the void. And in turn, we get to do the same for them. And suddenly, it all makes sense. It all fits. Because we haven't been forsaken. We've been prepared."

TRAVIS | MIA SHERIDAN

““Crying is good. It reminds us that we are fragile, breakable. It reminds that we are still human. But above all, it reminds us that we are still alive.””

— ( don’t be afraid, you will make it through this alive ) C.j

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.

I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size

But when I start to tell them,

They think I'm telling lies.

I say,

It's in the reach of my arms,

The span of my hips,

The stride of my step,

The curl of my lips.

I'm a woman

Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman,

That's me.

- Phenomenal Woman, Maya Angelou

"Maybe it was because I didn't want to look at my life and see what is missing. Once you identify what you lack, then it's all you see anymore. Wanting something I couldn't have would only lead to unhappiness, so I tried to be content with what I had."

THE FORGOTTEN LOCKET | LISA MANGUM

"There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature."

Northanger Abbey | Jane Austen

And as he smiled around at the crowd, his eyes landed on mine again, and he raised his hands and signed, I Bree you, and I laughed and signed, I Archer you. God, I Archer you so much.

Archer's Voice | Mia Sheridan
