Цитаты из книг автора «Рупи Каур»

i don’t think love is him anymore i repeat i think love never was i think i just wanted something was ready to give myself to something i believed was bigger than myself and when i saw someone who could probably fit the part i made it very much my intention to make him my counterpart

realized how naive i had been to place an idea so beautiful on the image of a person

perhaps this is why i let you skin me to the bone something was better than nothing having you touch me even if it was not kind was better than not having your hands at all i could take the abuse i could not take the absence i knew i was beating a dead thing but did it matter if the thing was dead when at the very least i had it

the hummingbirds tell me you’ve changed your hair i tell them i don’t care while listening to them describe every detail

ll me you’ve changed your hair i tell them i don’t care while listening to them describe every detail

a dozen different thoughts tear through me each second you must be on your way perhaps it’s best if you’re not i am okay no i am angry yes i hate you maybe i can’t move on i will i forgive you i want to rip my hair out over and over and over again till my mind exhausts itself into a silence

sun becomes moon and moon becomes sun and i become ghost

you left and i wanted you still yet i deserved someone who was willing to stay

i spent the entire night casting spells to bring you back

in order to fall asleep i have to imagine your body crooked behind mine spoon ladled into spoon till i can hear your breath i have to recite your name till you answer and we have a conversation only then can my mind drift off to sleep
