tylerknott:
Maybe, just maybe, true love is urgency. That frantic need to close the gaps between two bodies like all you are will break and bust if you do not. -Tyler Knott Gregson-

The Lost by Dorianne Laux
We all called him Chris, but the night I slept with him
he decided to insist on Christopher. I was the first
to call him, always, by his given name.
He was just one of those back-then boys, one of many
I was determined to possess with that swift, wistful
delirium of the casual romantic. Transient sweetness.
You could say I loved him, the way I loved every boy
I ever slept with, loved them...

Peach
tylerknott:
Isn’t life funny that some days you know with confidence that you are the peach, sweet and full of life while on others you suspect with quiet apprehension that instead you are the bruise that is so carefully and meticulously eaten around. -Tyler Knott Gregson-

“First we need the truth to open the emotional wounds, take the poison out, and heal the wounds completely. How do we do this? We must forgive those we feel have wronged us, not because they deserve to be forgiven, but because we love ourself so much we don’t want to keep paying for the injustice.” ~ Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements

Antilamentation by Dorianne Laux
Regret nothing. Not the cruel novels you read to the end just to find out who killed the cook. Not the insipid movies that made you cry in the dark, in spite of your intelligence, your sophistication.
