It takes strength...

It's so easy to laugh 

It’s so easy to hate 

It takes strength to be gentle and kind

In the 18th and 19th centuries, wealthy British and European lovers exchanged eye miniatures,

love tokens that captured the gaze of the recipients significant other. They were worn on the lapel as to be close to the heart.
Less than 1,000 are thought to exist, often both the owner of the piece and the subject within it are never identified.

I...

I want every piece of me to crash into every piece of you,

I swear to god that’s how they make stars.

Perfect day….

Just a perfect day
drink Sangria in the park
And then later
when it gets dark, we go home

Just a perfect day
feed animals in the zoo
Then later
a movie, too, and then home

Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spend it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on

Just a perfect day
problems all left alone
Weekenders on our own
it's such fun

Just a perfect day
you made me forget myself
I thought I was
someone else, someone good

Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on

You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow

Lou reed- Perfect day

“Be my baby” by Steven Meisel for Vogue Italia February 2004

yesterday was a perfect day, thank you babe

these arms are mine

these arms of mine

they are burning 

burning from wanting you

these arms of mine

they are wanting, wanting to hold you

otis redding - these arms of mine
massimo leardini, 2010

painted eyes

elegant, you were born at night

sewn by soft hands

oh the softest hands

born in solitude

born of painted eyes

painted eyes

that always looked to the sky

oh those eyes

oh those eyes

they saw forever

you can walk away from your mistakes

you can turn your back on what you do

just a little smile is all it takes

yeah, you can have your cake and eat it too

loneliness will get to you somehow

but everybody loves you now

after the storm...

there will come a time you’ll see with no more tears,

and love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.

get over your hill and see what you find there,

with grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

my shadow

my shadow’s the only one that walks beside me,

my shallow heart’s the only thing that’s beating,

sometimes i wish someone out there will find me,

‘til then i walk alone.

you are my sunshine, my only sunshine

you make me happy when skies are gray

you'll never know dear, how much i love you

mistaken identity

that's not me, it's not me

that's not me

the girls i used to me

has a terrible case of mistaken identity

and yesterdays girl is not what you see

ne me quitte pas

ne me quitte pas

il faut oublier

tout peut s'oublier

qui s'enfuit deja

oublier le temps

des malentendus

et le temps perdu

a savoir comment

oublier ces heures

qui tuaient parois

a coups de pourquoi

le coeur de bonheur

ne me quitte pas

ne me quitte pas

ne me quitte pas

ne me quitte pas

and when you find out who you are,

it’s too late to change

don’t give me up tonight
