i want the world to see you be with me

five minutes to midnight and there you were on the other side of the sliding glass door, leaning on the bar, waiting as we all hovered on the other side waiting for you. i tapped the glass and you grinned and shrugged. two minutes to midnight and i decided it would be okay if we just smiled at each other through the glass because there would be plenty of time for kisses later. 10 9 8 the DJ said and suddenly there you were 7 6 5 forgotten gold chain of my purse still slung over your shoulder 4 3 2 and we didn't even get to say 1 and yes, it was a happy new year indeed.

"Do not be afraid!
Open the doors to Christ
God works in the concrete and personal affairs of each one of us
Don't let the time that the Lord gives you run on as if everything were due to chance.
With this expression of my hope I send you all, from the depths of my heart, my blessing."
-- Pope John Paul II

"Everyone has a free-verse poem written inside of them."
-- Glenn Lee

"Every once in a while you'll find someone iridescent, and when you do, nothing will ever compare."
-- Wendelin van Draanen, Flipped

"This was the start of a period that blurs as I try to recall it. Incidents seem to cascade and merge. Events become feelings, feelings become events. Head and heart are contrary historians."
-- Jerry Spinelli, Stargirl

"That night I met you I wrote: it is possible I have imagined my entire life."
-- Sarah Manguso, Address to an Absent Lover

"We do not obtain the most precious gifts by going in search of them but by waiting for them."
-- Simone Weil

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'"
- Jack Kerouac, On the Road

"kisses are a better fate than wisdom"
- e.e. cummings

"I never need to find time to read. When people say to me, ‘Oh, yeah, I love reading. I would love to read, but I just don’t have time,’ I’m thinking, ‘How can you not have time?’ I read when I’m drying my hair. I read in the bath. I read when I’m sitting in the bathroom. Pretty much anywhere I can do the job one-handed, I read."

-- J.K. Rowling
