Zilarsonwrites - Writing My Dreams - Tumblr Blog

I decided to write as much like this as I am able. It's been interesting. I feel like I'm finding myself after having been lost and wandering for a long time.

It's heavy.

It's still heavy,

but right now

sitting in the sunlight,

drifting

in through my open window.

I feel as if

I could fly,

If I only breathe in

enough

of the sun's warmth.

My lungs are fuller

than they have been

in weeks.

Self Love

I want to love someone as deeply as Odysseus loved Penelope.

I want to love someone so deeply

that I would sacrifice all but my life to see them.

I want to love,

and be loved,

so fully,

that nothing would stop me from reaching them.

I want to love myself that deeply.

I want to love myself,

deeply.

“every moment we spend together is a risk, but I can’t stay away.”

“if anyone sees us, it will be the end for both of us.”

“i know it’s dangerous, but I can’t help how I feel about you.”

“just one kiss, then we have to go back to pretending.”

“no one can know about this, promise me.”

“i shouldn’t be here, but I couldn’t stay away.”

“what if someone sees us? what then?”

“every time I see you, I have to remind myself that it’s forbidden.”

“we’re playing with fire, and we both know it.”

“i wish things were different, but they’re not.”

“this is the last time, we can’t keep doing this.”

“if they find out, we’ll both be in so much trouble.”

“i’ve tried to forget about you, but it’s impossible.”

“they warned me about you, but I didn’t listen.”

Sorry for annoying you? I just really really like what you do and all the resources you just give out. You manage to do it so so well!
