You said to me once, “I want you to love me so you don’t know to do....

I wasn’t looking for perfection
I didn’t choose you for your eloquence or beauty
I didn’t choose you at all, I had no say.
The Moon ached and stars aligned
the day your soul found mine
All I ask is that you think of me first,
that when the time comes you consider my heart.
I want to be your Rosalind
to be the only girl in the wide world that could have held you

friction and sweat and skin
the spark is gone. the light’s gone out. we are not in love. the passion still makes me weak.

the places you linger
labryinth (1986) The National (entire discography) the front of my brain (especially when I’m sleeping) summer 2011: chasing old love across the country okkervil river (select songs) how to train your dragon (2010) old love letters ticket stubs in my wallet, I cannot get rid of. (trains, movies, receipts too) in the spaces between me and a new love the gin and tonic each cigarette...
i only wanted to give you everything i have....
cigarettes are what you used to be for me; they...
still here. still waiting for you to come back....
i could so easily make myself crazy about these...
so many songs sung by women say the very same things I’ve been known to say
so many songs by men apologizing for the same things you’ve down
I’m not impressed life isn’t in the movies its resonating through these speakers I’m still hoping for something more
I’m forever in a boat coming around the edge of a bluff, always searching for that place to come into land. i want a quiet love. the water’s blue is an endless expanse and i’m rippling along the surface waves crushing silence into my ears.
and i’m chasing a broken love across the land and you wont be waiting this time

he must know surely he must know
walking the streets at night imagining you and I together
you’d work on your wood carvings i’d tend to the garden
the house would be beautiful and warm
you’d be quiet and awkward i’d smile too much and talk to fill silences
but there would be love
its the middle of the night i just went on a date he was lovely, the concert was perfect i should be happy i’m resisting the urge to tell you about him, to ask if you even care you call. say you’re lonely. you want me next to you i fall asleep clutching blankets wishing we could just be
