For last year’s words belong to last year’s language,
and next year’s words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning.
—T.S. Eliot
Then I did the simplest thing in the world.
I leaned down, and kissed him.
And the world cracked open.
- Agnes de Mille
"i know there are people who say all these things don’t happen. and there are people who forget what it’s like to be sixteen when they turn seventeen.
i know these will all be stories someday, and our pictures will become old photographs, and we’ll all become somebody’s mom or dad.
but right now, these moments are not stories.
this is happening.
i am here and i am looking at her and she is so beautiful.
i can see it. this one moment when you know you’re not a sad story.
you are alive.
and you stand up and see the lights on the buildings and everything that makes you wonder. and you’re listening to that song on that drive with the people you love most in this world.
and in this moment, I swear, we are infinite."
- The Perks of Being a Wallflower
"
run away with me
let me be your ride out of town
let me be the place that you hide
we can make our lives on the go
run away with me
texas in the summer is cool
we’ll be on the road like jack kerouac
looking back, sam, you’re ready, let’s go—
anywhere
get the car packed and throw me the key
run away with me
sam, let me be your ride out of town
run away with me
california dreams here we come
romeo is calling for juliet
ready, set, sam, you’re ready—
let’s go anywhere
say the word and i’m already there!
run away with me.
"
- The Unauthorized Biography of Samantha Brown
"You might try then, as I did, to find a sky so full of stars it will blind you again. Only no sky can blind you now. Even with all that iridescent magic up there, your eye will no longer linger on the light, it will no longer trace constellations. You’ll care only about the darkness and you’ll watch it for hours, for days, maybe even for years, trying in vain to believe you’re some kind of indispensable, universe-appointed sentinel, as if just by looking you could actually keep it all at bay. It will get so bad you’ll be afraid to look away, you’ll be afraid to sleep."
- Mark Z. Danielewski

kingdom come
Steal my heart and hold my tongue.
I feel my time, my time has come.
Let me in, unlock the door.
I’ve never felt this way before.
The wheels just keep on turning,
The drummer begins to drum,
I don’t know which way I’m going,
I don’t know which way I’ve come.
I don’t know which way I’m going,
I don’t know what I’ve become.
Hold my head inside your hands,
I need someone who understands.
I need someone, someone who hears,
For you, I’ve waited all these years.
In your tears and in your blood,
In your fire and in your flood,
I hear you laugh, I heard you sing,
“I wouldn’t change a single thing.”
For you, I’d wait ‘til kingdom come,
Until my days, my days are done.
Say you’ll come and set me free,
Just say you’ll wait, you’ll wait for me.
