"Não há guarda-chuva contra o tempo,rio fluindo sob a casa, correnteza carregando os dias, os cabelos." João Cabral de Melo Neto

"For people could close their eyes to greatness, to horrors, to beauty, and their ears to melodies or deceiving words. But they couldn't escape scent. For scent was a brother of breath. Together with breath, it entered human beings, who couldn't defend themselves against it, not if they wanted to live. And scent entered into their very core, went directly to their hearts, and decided for good and all between affection and contempt, disgust and lust, love and hate. He who ruled scent ruled the hearts of men.” ― Patrick Süskind, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer.

the easy and good life with you

• turning silly sayings into "our thing"
• the smell of his head
• the way he holds a book while reading
• his hands, always
• when he suddenly looks at me, smiles and winks
• telling me he loves me out of the blue
• cuddling me to sleep every night
• little dessert surprises ever so often
• how he plays with his ring like a fidget toy
• always spoiling me with little gifts
• 'goodnight sweetheart'
• tucking me in when i go for a nap
• when he settles down on the sofa with his head on my lap
• his little dimples that only appear once in a while when he shaves

• the floating sensation when the diazepam hits. the calmness, peace of mind, happy thoughts and overall sense I can accomplish anything. of course the downside is that it fades quickly and then i just get sluggish and sleepy.
