I Have The Deepest Affection For Intellectual Conversations. The Ability To Just Sit And Talk. About

I have the deepest affection for intellectual conversations. The ability to just sit and talk. About love, about life, about anything, about everything. To sit under the moon with all the time in the world, bound by no obligations, barred by no human limitations. To speak without regret or fear of consequence. To talk for hours and about what's really important in life. (unknown)

You are My Universe 💜💙

─ just kids, patti smith

of mountains and wind,

trees and skin,

rivers and blood.

Bon Voyage

You shine in all your blues too.

but you see, I'm in LOVE. I'm in love with the way my best friend talks to me at 3 a.m., the way my mom makes my coffee, the way my brother gives me half of his orange. I'm in love with strangers I pass in busy streets and the way the newspaper boy sits on his cycle, the way people hold hands and the way their eyes shine. I'm in love, I'm in love with it all.
