“Somewhere we know that without silence words lose their meaning, that without listening speaking no longer heals, that without distance closeness cannot cure.”

If I could paint like Michelangelo
your beauty is all I would drawCould I carve you out of marble
Venus De Milo would blush in aweGod was definitely on his game
when He graced the world with youAngels peeked then hid their eyes
unaccustomed to such a lovely viewPicture the most spectacular…
“I do not understand why you would go out of your way to hurt each other, when life can already hurt so much.”
—I Wrote This For You: The Pain Of Each Other (via kari-shma)
“Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.”
—Anais Nin (via kari-shma)
“Everybody has a home team: It’s the people you call when you get a flat tire or when something terrible happens. It’s the people who, near or far, know everything that’s wrong with you and love you anyways. These are the ones who tell you their secrets, who get themselves a glass of water without asking when they’re at your house. These are the people who cry when you cry. These are your people, your middle-of-the-night, no-matter-what people.”
—Shauna Niequist, Bittersweet (via simply-quotes)
“Just because today is a terrible day doesn’t mean tomorrow might not be the best day of your entire life. You just have to wake up and get there.”
—Pete Wentz (via imaan-daar)
“I’m sure the universe is full of intelligent life. It’s just been too intelligent to come here.”
—Arthur C. Clarke (via expose-the-light)
Your absence has gone through me
Like thread through a needle.
Everything I do is stitched with its color.Separation by William Stanley Merwin
Thinking of you is pretty, hopeful,
It is like listening to the most beautiful song
From the most beautiful voice on earth…
But hope is not enough for me any more,
I don’t want to listen to songs any more,
I want to sing.Thinking Of You by Nazim Hikmet
