To whom do I owe the biggest apology? No one's been crueler than I've been to me.

Falling into the routine
Of having you with me
Is as simple as breathing
For all my decades without you
My mind finds itself at home
My body fits against yours
My heart sighs in relief
How you are so familiar
When I've only known you
For a mere fraction of my life
Is simply beyond me
“You can’t stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.”

Sometimes I find that music is so much more attractive than love. I don’t know… It’s like some kind of euphoria, that love can’t bring to you.
Florence Welch
Isabel Allende, The House of the Spirits
Wait for someone who bumps mouths clumsily with yours cos they’re too busy smiling to kiss you properly. Yeah. Wait for that.
