It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living, I want to know what you ache for. It doesn’t interest me how old you are, I want to know if you are willing to risk looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive. I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine. It doesn’t interest me where you live or how rich you are, I want to know if you can get up after a night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and be sweet to the ones you love. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and truly like the company you keep in the empty moments of your life.

Sometimes you can’t explain what you see in a person. It’s just the way they take you to a place where no one else can.

I tasted you and realized I had been starving

There are people you need to leave behind,
They just dirty up your mouth,
They don’t value your treasure.
You fall down, you kiss up, you love them. It’s not enough.
They’re nothing special and you’re such a gift.
If you had no magic here you’d be just like everyone else.
Imagine the tragedy.
You must change your life. You are never ready.
Love is like crying like writing like dying.
You have to do it alone.
I know it’s tragic to be tender.
I know it’s dangerous to be kind.
I know it’s vicious to care.
Listen to me. I know what’s going to happen to you.
You don’t need a window, you need a fire escape.
You’ll need a skylight to get where you’re going.
I can’t tell you where.

One day, you realise that there are some people you’ll never see again. At least, not in the same way.
I wrote this for you
