Negativity
When you say “I know ___”… I don’t agree with your fortune-telling. It is extremely inhibiting and oppressive. If you have doubts, that is fine, but do not pretend to know. Temper your hopes, but do not pretend to know what your life will bring you or what you may learn or find. At best, to say you know is only the path to a self-fulfilling prophesy. You do not have the...

To a Stranger
by Walt Whitman
Passing Stranger! you do not know how longingly I look upon you, You must be he I was seeking, or she I was seeking, (it comes to me as of a dream,) I have somewhere surely lived a life of joy with you, All is recall’d as we flit by each other, fluid, affectionate, chaste, matured, You grew up with me, were a boy with me or a girl with me, I ate with you and slept with you, your...

You don't want to be a burden?
Don’t keep things from me. Don’t hide. Tell me your secrets, hand me your fears. If you can’t give me what weighs you down, I will have to carry you altogether.

Sonnet XIV
By Elizabeth Barrett Browning If thou must love me, let it be for nought Except for love’s sake only.

Use me for a little fire...
Though your eyes in tears be beautiful, I would rather your eyelashes adorned by gentle snowflakes, while you dance. When winter comes, I hope your sorrow may freeze for but a moment, if only enough to feel a chill that is not inside. I wish the cold wind may lift you a little, invigorate your senses, and my words be a small fire in your lonely heart(h). ~PseudoLove

To You
by Walt Whitman Whoever you are, I fear you are walking the walks of dreams, I fear these supposed realities are to melt from under your feet and hands; Even now, your features, joys, speech, house, trade, manners, troubles, follies, costume, crimes, dissipate away from you, Your true Soul and Body appear before me, They stand forth out of affairs—out of commerce, shops, law, science, work,...

Loving You
Today I was sitting here and I thought what if I just said “I love you,” what if I said that? Do I need to say it? Why lie with words when actions speak louder? I might be a lie, but I’ll be the greatest damned lie you ever had. Even though I can’t love, I’ll make you feel loved. I’ll make you feel more loved than you’ve ever felt before. Does it matter that I don’t...
