“Hush now, don’t speak. I can read your thoughts in your eyes, sense them in the way you hold my hand. I know what you want to say when you hold me tight and can’t seem to let me go. Sometimes we’re better off enjoying the silence, better off filling the space between the lines. Letting the unsaid things talk. We don’t have to give it a name as long as we both know what we’re in over our heads. Sometimes words simply aren’t needed. Not when I’m with you.”
— hush now / n.j.
Last night I prayed for you You, who let me swallow The stones you dropped A heart’s trail Leading fast to the edge
I prayed for you Who took my words, my sugar And sprinkled it over someone New, fresh faced and warmed By the fire I lit
I prayed for you To the only man in eternity Who has Loved all of me I sent Him to you with grace Because I am not you
I prayed for you But first, I prayed for myself And found my soul cannot rise When anchored to yours So in freeing myself
I must also free you Amen.

I wanna run away with someone in the middle of the night and go on adventures and see the world and eat at cheap truck stops and sit on top of our car and look at the stars and just be somewhere other than here.

Desires, memories, fears, passions form labyrinths in which we lose and find and then lose ourselves again.

#Quoteoftheday
Through sunny days and shadowy nights. Through the mornings filled with mourning and those evenings lit up by moonbeams. Through the ups and downs, through all sights and sounds. I want you there. I want to take this journey with you.
