Nobody has ever left me just once. They always come back to see how their absence dulled the vibrance in my eyes before disappearing again.

Some names will always taste bitter.
“Treat me soft but touch me cruel
I wanna teach you things you never knew
Bring the floor up to my knees
Let me fall into your gravity
And kiss me back to life to see
Your body standing over me.”
— Adele // I Miss You.
I don’t love you loud or monstrously. I don’t love you like a hurricane loves a city or a bullet loves flesh. I don’t love you like the writer in me wants to love you. I don’t love you in a way that makes good television. I don’t love you as if you were cursed and broken and imploding, as if you were a grenade waiting for my words of regret and grief. I don’t love you like I’m waiting for you to explode and burn every part of me that wanted to believe what little we had was immortal. I don’t love you so my heart can bleed all over my fingertips and I can call the stains art. I don’t love you so I can one day hate you.
I love you and there is no explosion.
I love you and instead, there is quiet.(I love you in the way that creates, not destroys)
I want to crawl into your chest and kiss everything that you thought I’d hate.
I won’t glorify or romanticize heartbreak, for me it was a kind of death and I was forced to keep living.
