wishing I could just save that phone conversation.
“You believe in god?
Me: “yes”
“What’s that saying from the bible?
*starts singing* I’m not always there where you call but I’m alwways on time”
…
Me: “I think you’re mixing some things up”
Bought this today. It’s so so good! In love with the characters already. John Green never disappoints.
The Strokes // I’ll Try Anything Once
when i said ‘I can see me in your eyes’,
you said ‘I can see you in my bed’,
that’s not just friendship that’s romance too,
you like music we can dance to.

I’ve made out with more lips than I wish I’ve had I’ve been in love 4 or 5 times and I spend most days making pictures or thinking about making pictures

and not nearly as many as I’d like to.
so I doubt I’m gonna try that much more often.
and I dream too much and I don’t write enough

Great, a child’s interpretation of love is a lot clearer than mine. Can I be 4years old again?
I love it.
but I love even more that’s it’s from you.
Your half smiles tend to linger in my mind, in turn making me smile.
I don’t know what’s going to happen 4 months from now but you’ve got a hold on me that’s wrapped tightly around my heart.
The words “don’t go” teeter at the tip of my lips. They swirl around my head but never leave the sanity of my mouth. Never reach the ears that need to hear them. “Stay” is written all across my face yet I can’t bring myself to say it, what if it was all you needed to hear?
Now after your long gone, I say it out loud but it’s too late now, your ears are too far gone.
“Stay” I whisper.
