Quotes I've Fallen in Love with

"I will remember the kisses

our lips raw with love

and how you gave me

everything you had

and how I

offered you what was left of me,

and I will remember your small room

the feel of you

the light in the window

your records

your books

our morning coffee

our noon our nights

our bodies spilled together

sleeping

the tiny flowing currents

immediate and forever

your leg and arm

your smile and the warmth

of you

you made me laugh

again." - Raw with Love

"You have to die a few times before you can really live." - The People Look Like Flowers at Last
