I hope that someday, somebody wants to hold you for twenty minutes straight, and that’s all they do. They don’t pull away. They don’t look at your face. They don’t try to kiss you. All they do is wrap you up in their arms, without an ounce of selfishness in it.

Jenna, Waitress (via hplyrikz)

‘I have saved this afternoon for you’;
[…]
An atmosphere of Juliet’s tomb                    
Prepared for all the things to be said, or left unsaid.

T. S. Eliot, from “Portrait of a Lady,” The Complete Poems & Plays of T.S.Eliot (Faber & Faber Poetry, 2004)

It’s a scary thing; moving on. Part of me wishes life were more predictable and part of me is excited that it’s not. I think it’s impossible to tell the good things from the bad things while they’re happening.

Chris Crutcher, Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes (via wordsnquotes)

People say they want to die, yet they put their seat belts on when they go on a ride.
People say they want to die, yet they look both sides before crossing the road.
People say they want to die, yet they stop at red lights.
People say they want to die, but they don’t. They just want the pain to stop.
