thanks to impermanence, everything is possible

to do

be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like words that are now written in a very foreign tongue. do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. and the point is: to live everything. live the questions now. perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.

god loves everybody, don't remind me
if you are the desert, I'll be the sea. if you ever hunger, hunger for me
I had to crawl the halls to ask when we might meet before you left. you said, "maybe tomorrow, or never again"
blood (blood), sweat (sweat), no tears, no tears
keep your hands clean, just read my mind
whatever doesn't make me stronger kills me
feels like the rain is washing out my wounds with saline
smiling pretty, well, pretty will swallow you forever
hold me and tell me we'll burn like stars
you saved me some shade, I saved you some blood
I searched for the light, you searched for my lips

notes

"the best part is, you accomplished what you wanted. the worst part is, you went with you"
"don't wait for things to stop being hard to make yourself happy"
