'A girl who loves to read books'

'A guy who takes her to bookstore dates'
I miss you deeply, unfathomably, senselessly, terribly.
— Franz Kafka, from Letters to Milena
Why is it always 'ILY' and never 'You have bewitched me; body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. And wish from this day forth never to be parted from you.'
Guys who read are so hot. Like, hello lemme introduce myself!
It's so true!
the agony you fall into as soon as you finish a book that has changed your life is unbearable. it's slow and wears you out from within, making you burn in solitude. everything around you is different and it's as if you ended up with the book itself.
At that phase of truly, madly and deeply in love with you, where you can say anything, unwrap the worst things you have done and I will not abandon you!
The woods are lovely,
dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
~ Robert Frost
Stopping by the woods on a snowy evening
You are in his DMs and I am ardently sending him handwritten letters with the most raw feelings and hand-made sketched envelopes. We are not the same girl!

Margaret Atwood, from True Stories: Poems; "True Romances," originally published in 1981
Darling, you can't give up. You don't have a mansion with a secret library yet.
" ...there are rare moments when another soul dips near yours, as stars once a year brush the earth. Such a constellation was he to me."
Madelline Miller , Circe
