Love & Misadventure QUOTES

1 " You were you,
and I was I;
we were two
before our time.

I was yours
before I knew,
and you have always
been mine too. "

― Lang Leav , Love & Misadventure

2 " Before I fell
in love with words,
with setting skies
and singing birds—
it was you I fell
in love with first. "

― Lang Leav , Love & Misadventure

3 " Like time suspended,
a wound unmended--
you and I.

We had no ending,
no said goodbye;

For all my life,
I'll wonder why. "

― Lang Leav , Love & Misadventure

4 " Saving You

The darkness takes him over,
the sickness pulls him in;
his eyes—a blown out candle,
I wish to go with him.

Sometimes I see a flicker—
a light that shone from them;
I hold him to me tightly,
before he's gone again. "

― Lang Leav , Love & Misadventure

5 " I don't think all writers are sad, she said.
I think it's the other way around—
all sad people write. "

― Lang Leav , Love & Misadventure

6 " She lends her pen,
to thoughts of him,
that flow from it,
in her solitary.

For she is his poet,
And he is her poetry. "

― Lang Leav , Love & Misadventure

7 " Xs and Os

Love is a game
of tic-tac-toe,
constantly waiting,
for the next x or o. "

― Lang Leav , Love & Misadventure

8 " Without a doubt,
I must read,
all the books
I've read about.

See the artworks
hung on hooks,
that I have only,
seen in books. "

― Lang Leav , Love & Misadventure

9 " Do you know what it is like,
to lie in bed awake;
with thoughts to haunt
you every night,
of all your past mistakes.

Knowing sleep will set it right -
if you were not to wake. "

― Lang Leav , Love & Misadventure

10 " The scatterbrain,
is a little like,
the patter of rain.

Neither here,
nor there,
but everywhere. "

― Lang Leav , Love & Misadventure

11 " Shrinking in a corner,
pressed into the wall;
do they know I'm present,
am I here at all?

Is there a written rule book,
that tells you how to be—
all the right things to talk about—
that everyone has but me?

Slowly I am withering—
a flowered deprived of sun;
longing to belong to—
somewhere or someone. "

― Lang Leav , Love & Misadventure

12 " Shrinking in a corner,
pressed into the wall;
do they know I'm present,
am I here at all? "

― Lang Leav , Love & Misadventure

13 " In a sea of strangers,
you've longed to know me.
Your life spent sailing
to my shores. "

― Lang Leav , Love & Misadventure

14 " It happens like this.

"One day you meet someone and for some inexplicable reason, you feel more connected to this stranger than anyone else--closer to them than your closest family. Perhaps this person carries within them an angel--one sent to you for some higher purpose; to teach you an important lesson or to keep you safe during a perilous time. What you must do is trust in them--even if they come hand in hand with pain or suffering--the reason for their presence will become clear in due time."

Though here is a word of warning--you may grow to love this person but remember they are not yours to keep. Their purpose isn't to save you but to show you how to save yourself. And once this is fulfilled; the halo lifts and the angel leaves their body as the person exits your life. They will be a stranger to you once more.

-------------------------------------------------

It's so dark right now, I can't see any light around me.
That's because the light is coming from you. You can't see it but everyone else can. "

― Lang Leav , Love & Misadventure

15 " What was it like to lose him?" Asked Sorrow.
There was a long pause before I responded:

It was like hearing every goodbye ever said to
me—said all at once. "

― Lang Leav , Love & Misadventure

16 " The Wanderer

What is she like?
I was told—
she is a
melancholy soul.

She is like
the sun to the night;
a momentary gold.

A star when dimmed
by dawning light;
the flicker of
a candle blown.

A lonely kite
lost in flight—
someone once
had flown. "

― Lang Leav , Love & Misadventure

17 " A Stranger

There is a love I reminisce,
Like a seed
I've never sown.

Or lips that im yet to kiss,
and eyes
not met my own.

Hands that wrap around my wrists,
and arms
that feel like home.

I wonder how it is I miss,
these things
I've never known. "

― Lang Leav , Love & Misadventure

18 " All I thought and all I felt,
was only just because,
never was it ever you—
until it was all there was. "

― Lang Leav , Love & Misadventure

19 " In all our wrongs,
I want to write him,
in a time where
I can find him.

Before the tears
that tore us.

When our history was
before us. "

― Lang Leav , Love & Misadventure

20 " It was a question I had worn on my lips for days - like a loose thread on my favourite sweater I couldn't resist pulling - despite knowing it could all unravel around me.

"Do you love me?" I ask.

In your hesitation I found my answer. "

― Lang Leav , Love & Misadventure
