On Marriage

On Marriage
Kahlil Gibran

You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.
Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.


Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.


Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.

I'm a mountains person

Fights, dusty roads, full trains, drunk punks, plumbs, yogurt in the center of it all, classy restaurants, Russian perverts, screaming mom, stupid parents that let their babies play with lighters, naked women, cute couple, green flag, shyness, sleep, "you" having a new definition now, parks, fake ponds, cola with no ice, middle aged married people kissing, dresses, cute foreigners, Incredible India!, "I'm looking for a vampire", window shopping, 40 degrees, cheeseburgers, drug stores, ballet dancers, amazing muscles, running cousins, funny friends, red noses, sleep, wind, chaos, cold shower, yogurt, sleep... And that's about it...

You and I

I mess up all the time. I always screw up. But the funny thing is that You know that. And the funniest thing is that You knew that long before I was here. And even though You knew that I was gonna be a big joke... You signed up for this. For me. You still decided that You want to love me, me and my messing up. And I don't understand that. Yet not understanding You and the way You do things... That's what I signed up for...

Here's to us

Here's to people that matter.
Here's to people I care about.
Here's to people that I pray about.
Here's to people that leave.
Here's to those who don't care anymore.
Here's to those who I miss after they're gone.
Here's to those who leave a void inside your heart.
Here's to you.

Here's to people that chase other people away and then want them back.
Here's to people who can't seem to figure out what they want.
Here's to forgettable people.
Here's to replaceable people.
Here's to lonely people.
Here's to stupid people.
Here's to me.

Friendlessness

I hate needing you...
I would die for each and every one of you if I had to...
But I hate needing you...
And expecting things of you...
Things that obviously you don't want to offer...
Call it cry for attention...
Call it being self-centered...
Call it whatever you want...
I will call it friendlessness...

I tell you... Run...

That's it. The decision's made. There's no turning back. Door's locked, key's thrown away. And now there's only forward. Can't even think about looking what's behind you. You already said Yes.

And now you're standing on a field with only your doubts and the realization... That's it. This is who you are, this is the life you've chosen. And you can see the light, the direction. Take a deep breath. Again. Take off your pretty shoes. Lift up the edges of your beautiful dress. And now run. Run as fast as you can. Run the way you've never ran before. Run fast. Run with all your strength, with all that is in you. Forget about your doubts. Now it's you and that road. And the miles. So run girl. Just run... And don't even think about stopping or looking back. Getting tired is not an option. Cause He's waiting at the end. And we both know it's worth it.

Run for your love.
Run for your heart.
Run for your life, girl... I tell you... Run...
