Never Let Me Go- Florence & The Machine

I was young when you asked me to marry you. Young enough for my giggles to still be acceptable. Young enough that the fact you were asking me over the phone line didn’t seem disrespectful to me yet, considering you were only minutes away from me physically. I was young when I told you not to joke about such things, and you were young when you told me you weren’t.
We were both also young, when you...

The cold reminds me of you now. You once told me there was good in everyone, and we’d play the game of watching passerby’s and complimenting them on tiny details. I like the freckle under her eye, I’d say. I appreciate the way he smiles at customers, you’d reply. I enjoy his confident walk, I’d notice. She appears to have good taste in colour, you’d continue. On and on we’d pick out the good...

When I tell you I love you, I mean it in more than just words. I mean it with my whole being, I have yet to find a way to express the magnitude of that yet. -ec.

theconnotationsofdisaster asked: You're welcome, you deserve to be told how awesome your Tumblr is :) I was on the weheartit website looking through pictures tagged with 'poetry' or or something very similar and came across a haiku/short poem written by you, if my memory serves correctly. I clicked the source link et voila! I looked through your post, fell in love, bookmarked the webpage and have been perusing your...

We stayed in a hotel room with a radiator that fluctuated between being too hot and too cold. I’d wake you up periodically in the night and send you off into the blazing heat—or freezing cold, more often than not—to go offer gifts to that broken machine in hopes it would be kind to our tired bodies. I spent the night wrapped in your arms, your breath blowing rhythmically on my cheek in a sign...

There are a few asks in my inbox right now, and I want you to know I’m not ignoring you! I want to wait till I’m back at school with Jared to answer them in a video because they’re about our relationship:) If anyone has more to add, feel free!

I’d roll over every morning to find you playing with the dust motes in the sunbeams by the window above our bed. I’d smile, watching you lazily twirl your fingers through the air in such effortless enjoyment. It was all lost the moment your eyes met mine and you’d roll over on top of me, wrapping your arms around my neck to say I love you in the wordless way I understood. And every morning you’d...

theconnotationsofdisaster asked: Hey there! :) I just wanted to tell you how much I love your blog - I've been keeping up with your posts since waaaay before I got a Tumblr (which was only last night lol!) Your writing is SO beautiful, regardless of how long or short, and I absolutely love reading your work! (The occasional posts about you and Jared are so adorable too!!) So happy I came across your blog, and now I can just...

I remember when you were too scared to say it. I remember when your words danced across subjects just like the stars danced across the sky above our figures, wrapped tightly in a sleeping bag that was too small for even one. The stars exploded above us, but I was too busy holding you. I remember when our nerves were still on end for romance, when little touches spoke more volume than kisses on...

I yell, and you yell, and we both yell in places no one hears, hoping someone will drop in and ask us questions we don’t have answers to. We both want to be found, but never by the person who finds us; a need to be satisfied, but we don’t know how. You hide, and I’ll hide, and maybe one day our hiding places will coincide and we’ll realize we aren’t really as alone as we’ve told ourselves we are,...

Sometimes she’d stare at him and think nasty things just to prove he couldn’t read her mind. And when their eyes would connect she felt as though she were an umbrella opened upside-down, stuck catching the weight of all the things that dropped out of his mouth. You’re a pretty girl, but you talk too much, he’d say. And she’d stare and think awful things towards him, You don’t deserve my thoughts....

It was night when you left me crying, alone. I laid in your bed. It’s a backwards way to forget you, while the bed remembers the shape of your body. I’m uncomfortable in imprints that don’t match my own. Maybe I was uncomfortable in your arms, too.

But this is the thing, my mind has begun to like its discontent. And it troubles me to find that you are the only clarity within this wide radius of uncertain shapes and colours. Why do I still dream of you, lover? You sting like a cut that never heals itself, like the blood that drips out to remind you it never left. And it is my belief that you are in those veins. Is it unwise to hate you for...

If I called you in the middle of the night and told you to listen I’d expect you to listen like you’re walking on glass for a forgotten lover who knows all your past mistakes but loved you anyways, loved you until the day you left. I’d want you to listen like you used to run to her, actively and out of breath. As if you’re trying to prove to someone you’re still alive— Prove it to me. Prove...
