 You feel funny inside. You feel funny outside. You feel you could do anything and no one would dare laugh at you.
This love, you will treasure. You will not put it in the basement next to your rowing machine, treadmill, and thermal body sweat wrap. And you will not take this love for granted, because that is the biggest sin of all.
from Falling in Love in Six Acts (A Passion Play) an ad by Nike

Please, please, please make this feeling last…

When we get out of the glass bottles of our ego,
and when we escape like squirrels turning in the
cages of our personality
and get into the forests again,
we shall shiver with cold and fright
but things will happen to us
so that we don’t know ourselves.

Cool, unlying life will rush in,
and passion will make our bodies taut with power,
we shall stamp our feet with new power
and old things will fall down,
we shall laugh, and institutions will curl up like
burnt paper.
D.H. Lawrence 

I am yearning to feel that rush of untamed love again…

But under some other moon
Maybe?
Under some unknown sun,
Again, we two, we two might be
Always again?
from Rain by Margaret Newlin 

I still find it hard to believe that you are gone.

America's Top Model, Edgar Allan Poe, Fashion, Khrystyna Kazakova, Photography, Poetry, The Raven

© Khrystyana Kazakova

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was broken, and the stillness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, “Lenore?”
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, “Lenore!”-
Merely this, and nothing more.
from The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe

Who knows what radiant maiden may yet come rapping at a man’s heart?

She will never close her eyes
And she does not let me sleep
And her dreams in the bright day
Make the suns evaporate
And me laugh cry and laugh
Speak when I have nothing to say
from Lady Love by Paul Eluard 

I miss the sweet intoxication that comes with first loves.

Better or worse
But what else can we do?
And better or worse
I am tethered to you
If it’s not either of us
Tell me who are we fooling?
lyrics from Who Are We Fooling by Brooke Fraser

Our bond can never be broken- no matter how hard we try.

She is neither pink nor pale,
And she never will be all mine;
She learned her hands in a fairy-tale,
And her mouth on a valentine.
from Witch-Wife by Edna St. Vincent Millay

Often I am happier on my own.

Did I Make the Most of Loving You, Downton Abbey, Fashion, Lauren DiMarco, Mary Jess, Masterpiece Theatre, Photography, Theme song of Downton Abbey

© Moja Maat

Did I make the most of loving you?
So many things we didn’t do.

Did I give you all my heart could give?
Two unlived lives with lives to live.
When these endless, lonely days are through,
I’ll make the most of loving you.
I’ll make the most of loving you.
From Downtown Abbey, composer- John Lunn, lyrics – Don Black 
Sung by Mary Jess

Counting the minutes until we are together again…

I don’t think I’ve been in love, but I’ve been loved
– by a couple of them, but they weren’t the right ones.
from Three Tall Women by Edward Albee 

I always thought I would find the right one, but now I’m not so sure.
