“
There’s something in the weather, the same with your eyes. Twisting hair round your finger as the words leave your mouth…. When I asked what you loved, you said ‘Anything with words, the sound of rain in the phone line.’
I can see how it happened, you got thin as a cloud, whispering things in my ear I’d want to write down. This is where they’d of found you, if I hadn’t found you first: lying in bed next to fruit, brown in a bowl; a city on the horizon defined by clouds and smoke… It ends in the truth: If you act on a lie, the truth is no rounder than a tired horse’s eye. She wants a lot of things that dive with dragonflies, but mostly a love where no insecurity is concealed…
In this quiet house, your books stacked on the floor… everything is feathers, a mixture of numbers and time. I’ve sat in your shack and looked out across the pond, a hawk in the sky above where you rest in the ground…

“I need your loving like the sunshine,
And everybody’s gotta learn sometime”This song, and this movie, arghhh.
“Everything looked and sounded unreal. Nothing was what it was. That’s what I wanted- to be alone with myself in another world where truth is untrue and life can hide from itself. Out beyond the harbor, where the road runs along the beach, I even lost the feeling of being on land. The fog and the sea seemed part of each other. It was like walking on the bottom of the sea. As if I had drowned long ago. As if I was a ghost belonging to the fog, and the fog was the ghost of the sea. It felt damned peaceful to be nothing more than a ghost within a ghost.”
— Eugene O’Neill, “Long Day’s Journey into Night” (via monaleeee)
