Is that too much to expect? That I would name the stars for you?
The sun and stars turn dim every time I look at him.
He was pointing at the moon but I was looking at his hand. He was dead anyway, a ghost. I’m surprised I saw his hand at all.
There's never, never been such a lovely night. No, just look, what a moon!... Ah, how lovely! Come here. Darling, dear heart, come here. Well, you see? I'd like to sit on my heels, like this, take myself by the knees - tight, tight as possible, you've got to strain - and fly away! Like this!
I love you, I love you, I love you. Oh, the moon. Oh, the snow in the moonlight. And your childlike eyes and your distant smile, I'll never be this happy again.
In my dreams, my beloved lies beside me. When the sun lights the room, I find it's only me... Only you, when the sun and moon and stars are gone what's left is only you. Will you answer me?
I feel a little like the moon who took possession of you for a moment and then returned your soul to you. You should not love me. One ought not to love the moon.
I'll see my love tonight, and for us, stars will stop where they are! Today the minutes seem like hours, the hours go so slowly, and still the sky is light. Oh moon, grow bright, and make this endless day endless night!

you guys may have forgotten that David Yazbek wrote “all alone in the quiet/ah my ears are thirsty/for your voice” but I haven’t!

Y’all I am begging, does anyone have a link to The Bands Visit boot? I know there’s one on YouTube but I need to download it and all the boot posts are years old. I don’t have much to trade but I have a few boots!
