love quote – Silenticel

I was the ocean and she was the moon; pulling me in and pushing me away.

Annie Munro, you and i are somewhere between the tides

I’m trying to write about you but I’m not sure how to: I can’t call you ‘mine’ because you aren’t, and I can’t call you an ‘ex’ because you never were. You were an ‘almost.’ A ‘not-quite.’ A ‘what could have been.’

what could have been // a.s.m

‘i love you’ is just a verbal expression of an emotion. it is not a promise that they will not hurt you. it is not a promise that they will love you forever. it is not a promise that they will never leave. it is not a promise of anything.

i love you is not a promise // a.s.m

sometimes i think about all the people i could have fallen in love with if i had just been brave enough.

a.s.m

Is that an invitation in your eyes? Or are they just reflecting mine?

can i kiss you? // a.s.m

i guess i’m not a cassette // a.s.m

(my first shot at one of these picture type poem things?)

All the words I’ve ever wanted to hear come out of your mouth are about her.

on loving someone who loves someone else. // a.s.m

Can you even really love someone if there aren’t parts of them that irk you?

loving somebody that has no flaws would be too easy– i don’t think i could even call that ‘love’. the strongest thing about love is the acceptance of the yin and yang of an individual, and the decision to overcome the not-so-good because you can see there is so much in that person that you love, and that those flaws are a part of that person. // a.s.m

eyes of the hurricane. lips
booming thunder, hurling words
at hundreds of miles per hour.
there was nothing quiet about you.

and yet somehow you silently crept into my heart? // a.s.m

I don’t love you anymore, but I am still hopelessly in love with who you used to be.

painfully in love with memories // a.s.m
