tangled web

I've taken to copying poems and love letters 

into my school notebooks...

Here's one by John Keats.

I think they might help get me through the day.

Love you

it's amazing.

missed connections

I check these religiously.

I don't know why.

The only people that write missed connections

are hipsters lusting over chicks on the L

or creepy old guys in the upper east side.

Dear Sophie, thank you for making new york romantic again.

the killing moon

Under blue moon I saw you

So soon you'll take me

Up in your arms

Too late to beg you or cancel it

Though I know it must be the killing time

Unwillingly mine

Fate

Up against your will

Through the thick and thin

He will wait until

You give yourself to him

In starlit nights I saw you

So cruelly you kissed me

Your lips a magic world

Your sky all hung with jewels

The killing moon

Will come too soon

Fate

Up against your will

Through the thick and thin

He will wait until 

You give yourself to him

Fate

Up against your will

Through the thick and thin

he will wait until

You give yourself to him

Under blue moon I saw you

So soon you'll take me

Up in your arms

Too late to beg you or cancel it

Though I know it must be the killing time

Unwillingly mine

Unwillingly mine

"The Killing Moon" by Nouvelle Vague

Photographs by colour lover

the moon rises, the moon sets

and as time goes by,

my feelings for you

only grow stronger

in search of my own paradise

Do you still play dress up?

Do you still play make believe?

Will you make believe with me?

Let's make believe that we're all 

in the middle of an abandoned wood.

And we'll all wear dresses that never get dirty,

and our hair will gleam when the sun shines

through the tree branches.

And we'll run, and jump, and whisper 

secrets into the flowers.

Because the flowers won't tell a soul.

This is where I want to be.

And I want to take you with me.
