tattoo names want
You know, I'd get a tattoo with your name on it. Only, I want you to have the freedom to change your name if you want to.
love-is want persons
Part of love is letting a person be who they want to be
somewhere-else want persons
When I am with you, there is nowhere else I'd rather be. And I am a person who always wants to be somewhere else.
want wants-to-be-alone ifs
But if I didn’t want to be alone, then why didn’t I want to be with anyone else?
want share source
he is both the source of my happiness and the one i want to share it with.
mean talking games
I am so used to hints and mixed messages, saying things that might mean what they sort of sound like they mean. Games and contests, roles and rituals, talking in twelve languages at once so the true words won't be so obvious. I am not used to a plainspoken, honest truth.
color taste deeper
I barely notice colors unless I taste them. Not the yellows or the greens. I taste the deeper blues. The darker reds.
thinking special sometimes
Our moments are music, and sometimes – just sometimes – we can catch them and put them into some lasting form. If we didn’t have music, I don’t think we could ever be truly happy, and if we didn’t have special moments, we would never find music.
cheater infidelity broke
You went and broke our lives. You are so much worse than a cheater. You killed something. And you killed it when its back was turned.
games may please
Please may this not be a game. Please may this not be a game. Because if it’s a game, I know I’m going to lose.
heartbroken names numbers
I see Nick's number. I debate whether to assign a name to his number. If I commit to that, then I will truly be heartbroken if he never calls me again; my heart will knot each and every time I use this phone and see his name in there. I would probably end up having to trash the phone entirely.
lying hate cutting
I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair. I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare. I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind. I hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme. I hate it, I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. I hate it when you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call. But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.
book good-book should
They defy gravity, as good books should.
thinking silence compatible
I think they have compatible silences.
