quotes.

i.
sometimes you don't have to remember the color of someone's eyes to know that you want to be sucked into them.

ii.
who are we if not dreamers?
we will all die
wishing.

but we won't regret it.



iii.
it's all just so desperate, isn't it? everything around you is just a rancid pile of tangled bodies, all struggling to grope through the darkness and stick their spindle-wrists to the sun. sacrificing dignity for that split-second of oxygen.



iv.
he's got one of those faces
that remind me of a hundred
almost-people that i might have
loved at some
point.
he tells me
i've just got
one of those
faces
that remind him.



v.
sadness is not wanting to get out of bed on sunday mornings. it's the look in your eyes and the end of spring. it's knowing that old people die in their lonely apartments and nobody knows. it's watching him drive and drive until his car crashes and burns up. it's tears and sometimes even laughter and the fact that there are too many forgotten people on this earth. it's wishing wells and quiet afternoons and clocks that tell the time and three a.m.



vi.
sometimes i like sadness more than happiness. i think sad things are beautiful and that if we were all broken, we could mix up our pieces and nobody would know who they were anymore.
