"I knew that someday you would find me. I waited for you, calmly, with boundless impatience. Consume me."
~Hiroshima Mon Amour (1959), Alain Resnais
Kay Redfield Jamison, An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness
Your love keeps me gentle and calm but at the same time it puts my soul on fire; like every atom in my body is yearning to scream how much I love you back.
Hand kissing and forehead kissing are acts of the most sacred, high-romance and I think we need to revive these.
Making romantic scenarios in my head >>> Sleep
You kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oath.
Taylor Swift, 'All too well'
I am still so naïve, I know pretty much what I like and dislike; but please don't ask me who I am. A passionate, fragmentary girl, maybe?
Sylvia Plath, The unabridged journals of Sylvia Plath
“To remember everything”
What a blessing…and
Ohh! What a curse.
Ada Limón, from “Too Close”, The Hurting Kind
I think efforts are way more attractive and reassuring in a relationship than promises. You never know if you're gonna be able to keep the promises in future or not, but the efforts you make in the present are a lot more worthwhile.
My heart ached with love when Katherine Mansfield said:
"What I feel for you cannot be conveyed in phrasal combinations; it either screams out loud or it stays painfully silent but I promise- it beats words. It beats worlds."
