If there is no love in the world, we will make a new world, and we will give it walls, and we will furnish it with soft, red interiors, from the inside out, and give it a knocker that resonates like a diamond falling to a jeweler's felt so that we should never hear it. Love me, because love doesn't exist, and I have tried everything that does. —Jonathan Safran Foer

humans are the only animal
that blushes, laughs, has religion,
wages war, and kisses with lips.
so in a way, the more you kiss with lips,
the more human you are.
and the more you wage war.

I love you also means I love you more than anyone loves you, or has loved you, or will love you, and also, I love you in a way that no one loves you, or has loved you, or will love you, and also, I love you in a way that I love no one else, and never have loved anyone else, and never will love anyone else. — jonathan safran foer

" Time was passing like a hand
waving from a train
that I wanted to be on.

have to think about anything
as much as I think
about you.

I like to see people reunited, I like to see people
(RUN TO EACH OTHER,)
I like the kissing and the crying, I like the impatience, the stories
that the mouth
(CAN'T TELL FAST ENOUGH,)
the ears that aren't big enough, the eyes that can't
take in all of the change, I like the hugging, the bringing together,
(THE END OF MISSING SOMEONE.)
nmq.
