all the world is made of faith, and trust, and pixie dust.

"all we have is our bodies and our souls and that’s it. i don’t even think our bodies are our own. i think that’s just borrowed. so give it away, that’s what i say. give it away"

everything sounds better on vinyl.

day 30.

 up.

day 23.

window.

day 12.

here's a little gotye.

"we love the things we love for what they are."

i love you yesterday. i love you today. i love you tomorrow.

“it does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.”   

be still my heart.

i had the most wonderful surprise awaiting me the other day.  almost nothing compares to an unexpected package or letter on your doorstep. {and sufjan always amazes me with his cover art.}

"we were laughing, i think."

tell me stories...

tell me stories.  watch the sunrise with me.  be romantic.  spend the whole day with me.  keep me warm.  encourage me.  be spontaneous.  playfully tease me.  give me long hugs.  tell me how you feel about me.  remember little things about me.  take road trips with me.  have good taste in music.  send me random sweet text messages.  cook for me.  keep your promises. tell me i'm beautiful even when i'm wearing sweats and no make-up.  call me just to say goodnight.  spend the holidays with me.  teach me new things. love me for who i am.  take me camping.  take me to a concert.  be my best friend.  tell me your secrets.  trust me.  play board games with me.  stargaze with me.  play with my hair.  take pictures with me.  be yourself.  dance with me.  have tickle fights with me.  kiss me in the rain.  write me letters.  hold my hand while you're driving.  build a fort with me.  sing to me even if you're terrible.  surprise me.  cuddle with me.  go on adventures with me.  hug me from behind.  make me laugh.  kiss me.  love me.  

she is a ruby and i liked red.

. day 7 .

. something you wore .

"the way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost."

p.s. i'll post the rest of the week soon.

the occasion is i love you.

"outside by your doorstep in a worn out suit and tie"

i was on your porch.

{my dear friends, kristy and anthony}

rain sound the alarm.

i'd rather be in that place with you than anywhere else.

"was where we learned to celebrate"

where our story began.

you must know... surely, you must know it was all for you. you are too generous to trifle with me. i believe you spoke with my aunt last night, and it has taught me to hope as i'd scarcely allowed myself before. if your feelings are still what they were last april, tell me so at once. my affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. if, however, your feelings have changed, i will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and i love, i love, i love you. i never wish to be parted from you from this day on.

and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned.

"searching the world for what's right here..."

but through that window came a better day.
