“my favorite thing about you is your smell
you smell like
earth
herbs
gardens
a little more
human than the rest of us”
― Rupi Kaur, milk and honey

“I kept fiddling with my phone through dinner
because I was fascinated
that every time I tried to type love,
I missed the o and hit i instead.
I live you is a mistake I make so often,
I wonder if it’s not
what I’ve been really meaning to say.”
― Jamaal May, Hum

“Sometimes being offered tenderness feels like the very proof that you've been ruined.”
― Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

“He is half of my soul, as the poets say.”
― Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles
