Love

My race has forgotten the beauty of meaning much by saying little. Now tongues work all by themselves with no help from the mind. I could make a point strong enough to stop a womb--or a knife. Each story has a monster in it who made them tough instead of brave so they open their legs rather than their hearts where that folded child is tucked. Most demons get hungry at supper time like us.

After Dark

Eyes mark the shape of the city. The district plays by its own rules at a time like this. She seems to be biting off and chewing the book one line at a time. Even at a time like this, the street is bright enough and filled with people coming and going--people with places to go and people with no place to go; people with a purpose and people with no purpose; people trying to hold time back and people trying to urge it forward. As you wish You don't have to answer. I was just asking myself. If you really want to know something, you have to be willing to pay the price. He couldn't suppress that curiosity, no matter how big the price was he had to pay. We take what we can get. Everybody's got their own battlefields. Love ho - love hotel Ni Zemme Le? - What happened? Time is unclear. Defer judgment and accept the situation as it is. I'd better study hard because I'm too ugly for anything else. I don't stand a chance if you compare me to her. Between the last train le

Eat, Pray, Love

It's my efforts to find balance. teachers...in many curious forms Say it like you eat it. I wish Giovanni would kiss me. Oh but there are so many reasons why this would be a terrible idea. To begin with, Giovanni is ten years younger than I am, and--like most Italian guys in their 20's--he still lives with her mother. In daylight hours, I refused that thought but at night it would consume me. The only thing more unthinkable than leaving was staying; the only thing more impossible than staying was leaving. You don't need to know the final answer right now. How do you negotiate once you have offered everything? I am the planet's most affectionate life form. Addiction is the hallmark of every infatuation--based love story. You have now reached infatuation's final destination--the complete and merciless devaluation of self. Is this lifetime supposed to be only about duty? ...with even civility between us... Labbiamo rotto (we broke it) I get to thinking a little too muc

South of the Border, West of the Sun

You take either all of me or nothing. There are certain things you cant undo. Anyhow, I didn't give up is that I thought if you were to come back to me, I would be able to take you back. Maybe you will hurt me again. Or maybe next time, I'll hurt you. No one can promise anything. Neither of us can make any promises. But I still do love you. Death is not the opposite but a part of life. He lived in his own special hell. “At this hour?” she said, surprised. “Why do you have to go all the way to Hakone at this hour?” “There’s something I need to think over,” I said. “So you won’t be back tonight?” “Probably not.” “Darling, I’ve been thinking over what happened, and I’m really sorry. You were right. I got rid of all the stock. So why don’t you come home?” “Yukiko, I’m not angry at you. Not at all. Forget about that I just want some time to think. Give me one night, OK?” She said nothing for a while. Then: “All right.” She sounded exhausted. “Go to Hakone. But be careful driv

Norwegian Wood

Life doesn't require ideals. It requires standards of action. They are important things I cant go on avoiding any longer. Maybe it felt that way because I had thought about it so often--too often, to the point where it had distorted my sense of time. Don't let yourself get impatient. I have a lot more patience for others than I have for myself, and I'm much better bringing out the best in others than in myself. If you're in pitch blackness, all you can do is sit tight until your eyes get used to the dark. If you do not, please lie to me later and tell me that you did. The love is so good we can barely cope. Things will go where they're supposed to go if you just let them take their natural course. Despite your best efforts, people are going to hurt when it's time for them to be hurt. Open up a little more and let yourself go with life's natural flow. Stop eating yourself alive. Too many memories of him were crammed inside me, and as soon as one of

I Choose You

because I believe we would be stronger together than a part. because I wanted more than what nature had in store for me. because you bring happiness to the empty places in my heart. when I realized the kind of love I was missing. because I needed you to become whole. to receive the love you have to give. because I wanted to be the one to show a love without limits. because you needed a strong heart to guide you. because I wanted to be the one you'll remember when you look back on your life. because I want to share my blessings. to help me make the best person I could become. because I want to be the one to kiss your pain away and make it all better. because I want to be there when you experience life's challenges. because you needed someone as I did. because you touched my heart. so that neither of us would be alone. because I knew that without you in my life I would not be as happy as I am now. because you fill my days with more meaningful purpose. because you help me experien
