Together, we were the perfect storm.

“

How does desire feel to you?

“

Maybe it was real? Maybe he’s changed? Maybe he does like me?

“

It’s a hard truth but most people aren’t going to help just because you want them to.

“

When a woman is allowed to experience her desire, sex is not an act of domination and penetration. It is a sacred act of mutual honoring and surrendering to passion and pleasure.

“

The man I wish to wake up beside will not play games with me, for he knows there is freedom in being chosen. He will speak highly of the women who have broken his heart, for they are the love stories that allow space for this one.

“

I want to be chased with the intention of being kept.

“

I’m a hopeful romantic because I refuse to believe romance is dead. I’m a hopeful romantic because I know love isn’t a hopeless cause to fight for.

“

Some nights were born for hearts, though. Surely this night was.

“

Why can’t you just give me the love I deserve, the way you give it so easily to the others who don’t even believe in you?
