My lungs are filled with air, and my heart beats like a drum but I do not feel alive. Life is working around hard around in my body, but not in my soul.

How many nights have you wished someone would stay?

I hold on tight to our memories. But my love, forgive me. For my hands are not strong enough to grasp the things that keep hurting me.

You used to tell me that I could write everything I’m feeling on a sheet of paper and burn that down… to release something… to feel free… But guess I’ve buried too many pages that I’ve already run out, writing I miss you beside you name, but the longing still feels the same.

I don’t think I could love you so much if you had nothing to complain of and nothing to regret. I don’t like people who have never fallen or stumbled. Their virtue is lifeless and of little value. Life hasn’t revealed its beauty to them.

I love you. And everything is going to be fine. And you will be alright.

how to make the venus signs feel special

- Aries: Tell them you’ll stay even when they push away. Tell them you love them just the way they are and they don’t have to change for you. Give them a sense of self and freedom. Give them a place to return to at the end of the day.

- Taurus: Tell them you want a home with them. Tell them that a future with them is brighter than the sun and that you’ve never felt as secure as you do with them in your arms. Give them a sense of comfort and safety. Give them your all.

- Gemini: Tell them…wait no, shhh. Let them tell you their thoughts and feelings. Let them tell you all the beautiful things on their mind and pour their heart out through eloquent speeches. Give them a sense of curiosity and freedom to ramble. Give them your attention and listening ears.

- Cancer: Tell them they don’t have to worry about you leaving. Tell them they’re safe from anything and everything and that you’ll protect them. Give them a sense of love and loyalty. Give them your heart and soul.

- Leo: Tell them how beautiful and amazing they are. Tell them you’ve never seen a star that shined nearly as bright. Give them a sense of adoration and wonder. Give them your praise and acceptance.

- Virgo: Tell them thank you for everything they do. Tell them you’ve never met someone so reliable and dependable. Give them a sense of self worth and satisfaction. Give them your gratitude and appreciation.

- Libra: Tell them how beautiful their spirit is. Tell them how their charm and intelligence intrigues you. Give them a sense of self love and endless support. Give them your open heart and mind.

- Scorpio: Tell them you’ll never abandon them. Tell them your deepest fear is a life without them in it and that you’d cross the earth to be close to them. Give them a sense of dedication and intensity. Give them your entire being.

- Sagittarius: Tell them you want to see the world with them. Tell them when you look into their eyes…you do. Give them a sense of adventure and freedom. Give them a home away from home.

- Capricorn: Tell them you won’t betray them or use them. Tell them they can depend on someone other than themselves finally. Give them a sense of support and trust. Give them a foundation that will never crumble.

- Aquarius: Tell them you love how different and unique they are. Tell them you’ve never met anyone like them and they’ve made your world better. Give them a sense of identity and belonging. Give them your world.

- Pisces: Tell them they’re a dream come true. Tell them they make flowers bloom in the darkest of times. Give them a sense of purpose and care. Give them an escape from reality.

Because I always insisted on being with you during your darkest hours, Did you think I was tired and needed sleep during light? Why is it that you never once greeted me when the sun was shining on your flawless skin and it was time to eat your favourite meal? I never slept, you should have known that. The few times I tried, you shook me awake to cry another whole night. I did not sleep and always kept tissues just for you but I also had a list of fun things we could do. The tissues weren’t enough and you used the lists like they were just extra tissues. So we never got around to doing the fun things; we never got around to doing anything but wiping your tears.
