Some of my favorite quotes:"I thought about waiting - how vulnerable it made you. Because eventually you got tired. You got tired and you made a choice, you picked someone - and you believed he was the person you'd been waiting for. And you gave him everything." - Look At Me, Jennifer Egan

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way
that this: where I does not exist, not you, so close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep
Mayakovsky by Frank O'Hara
Now I am quietly waiting for the catastrophe of my personality to seem beautiful again, and interesting, and modern.
The country is grey and brown and white in trees, snows and skies of laughter always diminishing, less funny not just darker, not just grey.
It may be the coldest day of the year, what does he think of that?I mean, what do I?And if I do, perhaps I am myself again.
Six Years Later by Joseph BrodskySo long had life together been that now

"When you see such photos, you can't help but wonder at just how sweet and sad and innocent all moments of life are rendered by the tripping of a camera's shutter, for at that point the future is still unknown and has yet to hurt us, and also for that brief moment, our poses are accepted as honest." -Douglas Coupland

Perfect situations must go wrong -I know him so well
I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars -earth song
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
Then I see you standing there
I'm all I ever be
But all I can do is try -try
guilty feet have got no rhythm -careless whisper
the beautiful lights,
the star filled nights -
they don't mean a thing -still on my brain
memories may be beautiful and yet
what's too painful to remember
we simply choose to forget -the way we were
hope seems like the summer birds
too swiftly flown away -if you believe
Last night I fell in love without you
The stars at night aren't as big and bright
As you make them out to be
