If you want to, you will/would’ve.

The thing is you make me happy. You walked in when it seemed like the rest of the world walked out. You were there. You are there. I never need to pretend when I’m around you, when I’m talking to you, when I’m with you. You’re hilarious; you make me laugh, like, all the time. You seem to pick up that something’s wrong before anyone else does. And you know exactly what to say to make it all okay, and even if it’s only for a little while, it helps.

We live in a generation of not being in love,
And not being together.

But we sure make it feel like we’re together,

Cause we’re scared to see each other with somebody else.


So cry if you need to,
But I can’t stay to watch you.

That’s the wrong thing to do.


Touch if you need to,

But I can’t stay to hold you.

That’s the wrong thing to do.

Talk if you need to,
But I can’t stay to hear you.
That’s the wrong thing to do.


Cause you’ll say you love me,

And I’ll end up lying,
And say I love you too.”

his pledge to her.
i will kill the spiders. i will share my fries with you when you’ve finished all yours and are still hungry. i won’t ever pop my collar.  i will never be rude to your tummy- when i hear it growl and gurgle, i promise to bend down and reply respectfully. i will eat the mushrooms when we order the supreme pizza. i will kiss the papercuts. and the door-slammed finger. and the counter-bumped hip. i’ll try my hardest not to get annoyed when you whisper questions and comments during movies. i will be the big spoon. i will let you win at wrestling. sometimes. other times i will not. i will go faster. harder. i will pull when you want. and tease you when you don’t. i will send you random texts and leave you silly gifts. not always. not on schedule. just whenever i want to. whenever i think you need one. or seven. i will check your tire pressure. and remind you to take your car in. i will hold your hand. i will love you. i will love you. i will love you.

…but it occurred to me there, I realized that I had spent the last 2 weeks away from most of my habits. TV was in a language I didn’t understand. There was nothing to buy, no advertisements anywhere. So, all I’ve been doing was…walk around, think, and write. My brain felt like it was at rest, free from the consuming frenzy. And I have to say, it was almost like a natural high. I felt so peaceful inside, no…strange urge to be somewhere else, to shop…Maybe it could have seemed like boredom at first, but it quickly became very, very soulful. It’s interesting, you know?
Before Sunset

“Yes we are friends and I do like to pass the day with you in serious and inconsequential chatter. I wouldn’t mind washing up beside you, dusting beside you, reading the back half of the paper while you read the front. We are friends and I would miss you, do miss you and think of you very often.I don’t want to lose this happy space where I have found someone who is smart and easy and doesn’t bother to check her diary when we arrange to meet.”
