Top 10 Best Quotes
“I promised no more poetry and I’d rather think of this as a confession: you are still the first person I want to share new things with.”
“Some people are born flight risks. It is no shortcoming of yours that they cannot keep their feet on the ground. It is not your fault that they cannot seem to stand in place. They are not leaving you; they are just leaving.”
“I still have a lot of growing to do and I know there is more room for it in your absence.”
“For everyone I meet with your name I'm sorry.”
“loved a man for years who said her eyes looked like the ocean, because she always wanted to be somebody’s poem, somebody’s simile, somebody’s lackluster metaphor.”
“I still carry you on the insides of me: cave paintings on rib-caging. If I were a peach, you would be the pit that holds me all together. When I met you, I was something small and whole; I do not know how to get back there. You have the warmest heart I have ever set up camp in. I still carry you on the insides of me: the contents of my suitcase heart. I will lug you around until it breaks my back and then some. I feel sometimes like I have scattered my pieces everywhere, but you are the piece I do not know how to leave at the foot of a stranger’s bed or between the lines of a free-verse poem. I want you to know that loving you is freeing; that loving you is like holding my head under water and coming up new again and again. I still carry you on the insides of me. This will not always make sense to you”
“You had to stand there saying: I love you, I love you, I love you we're soul mates, you and I, but that doesn't mean it works that doesn't mean it works that means my soul can't bear to be without yoursbut that doesn't mean it works”
“You came into this life with a starving heart. I know better than anyone that you cannot fill it with fence posts or china patterns. You cannot fill it with paper bodies, people whose skin rips in your palms. For some people, you will be too hard: an unmanageable puzzle, all sharp edges, and snarls. For others, you will be too soft: always looking to set up camp somewhere safe and warm where the wind won’t knock you down. You cannot build your home like a house of cards in the mouth of a lover who breathes too hard at night.”
“ You came and you left and I’m just looking to quick dry cement it, press and bend it, fold it up and tuck it away for safe keeping. I know that it’s reaching but I just want to leave your name on a page somewhere and never need to come back to it.”
“I still wake up with things to tell you.”
